    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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....

I went to a reptile show today with the mindset that if I found something unusual that I wanted as a pet (not a breeding project I have enough of those) that I would pick one up. Well I just fell in love with this tiny baby scaleless rat snake. I've always wanted one. Such a cute worm! The color on this guy is fascinating to me. I love that he has a few scales on his head, he also has all his belly scales and a line of tiny scales down his back.

His name is Wrenfield.

Thank you! I love that he has some scales particularly the ones on his head. Not sure if his head is truly this color or if you can just see through the skin. :)
 
I bought my first scaleless Texas rat snake last year and I agree, they are really fun critters! I now have a male and female pair, and although I primarily have them for public education, I do hope that they'll breed in the future. Great little snake you've got there!
 
Thanks all! I'm very excited!

Their skin is almost as tough as scales and you really don't have to be any more careful with them (full grown specimens have been collected out of the wild). They are super soft...but they...uh...okay I'm just going to say it: they sort of feel like a penis. In fact the guy who sold him to me made this hilarious face when he picked it up to hand it to me to hold and he said he doesn't like touching them for that reason.
