![]() A scaleless palmetto retains this color and pattern, despite not having scales. The flecks fit into the borders of each scale. From a distance, they look like small flecks in ice cream. These scales are mostly unconnected, and are spread out across their whole body. But throughout their whole body, individual scales stand out. As they age their pink fades and turns into a pure white. Palmettoes are beautiful to look at, and they are rare. Scaleless lavenders keep this pattern and color combination, but have no scales. They may be ruby red, or a deeper burgundy. A lavender’s eyes might also be a different color. Their dark markings range from purple to gray. Lavender corns have a light pink background. That means that the red of their blood shows through. Without scales, the effect is even more impressive. When combined with their white appearance, their eyes are striking. They may develop some yellowing as they age.Īlso, because they’re bred from albinos, they have pink or red eyes. When these genes both act, the snake is left with almost no pigment in their skin. Charcoals lack erythrin, and albinos lack melanin. Their combination of genes was deliberately planned. Scaleless Blizzardīlizzard corns are a designer morph bred from charcoal (anery type B) and albino parents. When bred with a scaleless snake, they keep their pattern and color, and lose their scales. They have a more muted contrast compared to Type A. Anery Type B snakes are also known as charcoals. The first is anery Type A, which looks as described above. When a snake lacks these pigments, they look mostly black, gray, and brown. But, instead of lacking melanin, they don’t have any erythrin.Įrythrin is a pigment that causes warm reds, oranges, and yellows. They’re a complement to albinos in that they too lack pigment in their skin. Scaleless AneryĪnerythristic (or ‘anery’) corns are also known as black albinos. If the tessera is homozygous for its gene, all offspring from that snake and a scaleless snake will be scaleless tesseras. Creating a scaleless tessera corn snake is easy. This line is lighter, and the pattern around it is darker. They also have a distinctive line along their back. Tessera corns have a unique pattern that appears more broken, almost pixelated, compared to a regular corn snake. The scaleless albino has these colors, and the red eyes, but not scales. ![]() ![]() Instead, they’re a bright red-orange color with a yellow, white, or cream pattern. The albino gene would finally show.Īlbinos aren’t pure white. The first generation would be heterozygous, and the second generation would be homozygous. the pigment that causes dark patterns and colors.īecause albinism is recessive, breeding the first scaleless albino corn snake would have taken at least two generations. That’s because albinos lack melanin, i.e. Albinism is also referred to as amelanism. and brown spotted markings.Īlbinism is the result of another recessive gene, like the scaleless snake. Light pink background with purple-gray markings.Īlmost pure white, but with red, black. Lacking red and yellow pigments, they look a grey, brown and black instead. The same color as normals, but with a unique pattern. So, despite having recessive genes, they can still be made into designer morphs. The gene that causes these snakes to not have scales doesn’t affect their color or pattern. When bred with other morphs, you can create ‘designer morphs’. Scaleless corns are a morph in themselves. Brian has been breeding scaleless snakes for years, of several species. It’s likely that Brian Barczyk first bred them at B.H.B. It’s believed that the first-ever scaleless corn snake is the result of a cross with a Texan rat snake, which would explain where the mutation came from, as wild scaleless rat snakes have been discovered. ![]()
