Thanks Stef, I was posting on the snake. I hadn't even read Menhir's post until now. Sorry for the confusion.

No thanks, I prefer to see data rather then listen to it.

Also my opinion velvet.
I don`t understand what they want with such cruel breed.

I whole heartedly agree

Hmmm, what excactly reminds you of the laticincta?
I own a few of them myself and I cannot see the similarity.

What do you think Corn x Laticincta would look like?

Articles on water loss in scaleless snakes (PDFs):
Article 1
Article 2

Another article on scaleless snakes lacking beta-keratin.

Found this on scaleless texas ratsnakes. If you look at the photos, it looks nothing like a normal colored texas right. Though if you look close at the photos, the animal doesn't look too healthy.

So after reading all that, I could be inclined to believe that it is 100% corn...But in my opinion it shouldn't be reproduced considering the articles.

I've heard that scaleless snakes and lizards in general have relatively short lives.

I'm not going to lie - I like the way it looks.

However I do want to see some facts from the breeder - in his own words on the snakes themselves as to how well they survive. I wouldn't want to have a snake that never had a healthy happy life just because it looked different.

I think somehow the same like crossing whatever is banded and red&yellow to a corn. Henc, the laticincta will change the yellow to deep red, thus, I don't see why you especially chose that asian rat.

The problems with climbing due to the lack of scales are obvious, especially in the Elaphe genus. Moreover, the ventral skin is known to have problemss.
