    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

how was the scaleless gene transferred to corn snakes?

I remember hearing that the rat snake gave the scaleless gene to corn snakes, by hybridizing then breeding it true.. I was curious if anyone had any literature on that.
 
First scaleless snake I ever saw was a Texas rat snake in the possession of Dr. Bernard Bechtel MANY moons ago. As to the gene showing up in corn snakes and how it got there, sorry, I have no historical information about that event.
 
I saw several at the Daytona show this year that i could have placed in with my high red scaleless Texas rats and you couldn't pick them out. i don't know if all are mixes. I have heard rumors there was a scaleless corn found in the wild. However I have seen many being sold at triple the price of Texas rats as corn morphs and they looked just like what we produce here year after year.
 
French breeder bred a corn to an Emoryi. When he bred babies from that clutch to one another it produced the scaleless you see in corns now. He supposedly didn’t have the adults anymore once he produced the first scaleless so he had no way to test which snake passed it on so he could produce pure scaleless.
