Made a nice deal on trading Tesseras and some others

Those scaless texas rat/corn hybrids are so weird looking. Attractive in their own way, but definitely odd.

I would love to feel one of those - very odd and beautiful!

 

[hypnoctopus]

Also, do you have to treat them more delicately than a regular-scaled snake?

 

[vliberatore]

My guess would be the humidity has to be higher?

I will inform myself about that and about the humidity .
What I already know is that it is best to feed them F/T because live mouse easy will hurt them more by biting the skin than they do with scaled ones .

Scaless corns are an emoryi x corn creation per what I have read and researched. Is there another line out there of a texas x corn?

I thought the main scaleless ratsnake was the texas. I didn't know emoryi came in that variety as well.

 

[Camby]

My understanding (from emails with the original breeder of the "scaleless corns) is that the "scaleless corns" were a creation from an emoryi x corn breeding, then breeding back those babies. Per the breeder, by the time he realized what he had, he no longer had either of the original adults so there was no way to determine the animal who originally carried the trait.

I have my hunches of which it was and how it came to be, but the world will never know now. So it is what it is, technically they are scaleless emory corn crosses. There is a post on here and another site where I copied and pasted the original breeders info and description of what took place. I translated it into english using a google app so there were a few miscues, but you can get the jist of the write up. He didn't mask the fact that it was a corn x emoryi breeding though so kudos to him for being open about how it came to be.

Scaleless texas rats were around before these I am pretty sure.

I dont like these corns (and all other scaleless snakes). That´s a way our hobby goes that I really dont like...ugly and crueled animals.....thumbs down !

I wish to see a few of your awesome other corns (of course with scales) marc

 

[Becca]

Whoa. That looks very...odd. I don't know if I like it or not. It is definitely different, I'll say that much. I'm just too used to my scaled friends having...scales.

I will post them in a few days : Tessera , Amel Tessera , kept some from breeding Tessera x Abbotts Okeetee , real dark saddles on these animals , I hope they turn out good looking Okeetees

 

[JimGERcream]

Totally agree with KüngAs, bring those scaled snake pics Marc, not these abused poor creatures without scales. I do feel sorry for them and I'm still shocked people breed them.

Show us your stunners, please!!! :grin01::grin01::grin01:

 

[MarcS74]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't like these snakes. It's like breeding a fish that doesn't have fins or a horse with no hooves...I don't see the point. And it's a dangerous slope we are taking if that's what corns or going to be, just look at the disaster on the Ball python side of the hobby, the Spider wobble and now the cinnamon spine kinks and even worse...
But to each is own i guess .

Stunning animal! I'm so jealous!
