Hypo Scaleless het Caramel poss het Amel Cornsnakes progression thread

So I went to a show and got a scaleless rat snake and I love him SO much that I decided I really wanted a scaleless cornsnake project. And I just happened across one.

Coming in on Wed is a male/female pair of 2016 hypo scaleless 100% het caramel 66% poss het amel corn snakes! These are imports from Europe.

I understand scaleless snakes are not for everyone. I'm not a fan of scaleless ball pythons (I don't like that they don't have belly scales, scaleless corns have belly scales). I also understand that these are not 'pure' corn snakes and that there is rat snake in there. However I just love these two snakes and after some careful consideration and bit of a push from a few people on this forum and my friends I decided that I just can't go wrong with this awesome project.

I'm nervous, and excited, and I love that! Makes me excited about breeding and owning! I'm still going to breed my black pastel pied ball pythons but I like the idea of something new and more of 'show stopper'. Heehee.

Picture of the female from the breeder. The male is in shed I will post pics of him when I get him (he has a few scales down the back of his neck).

My scaleless rat snake (he will remain as just a pet). I like that my rat snake has scales over the eyes, makes them less bug eyed:

Yes! She kinda does! She's so very soft I can't get over it.

Nova is getting so big!! This photo has bad lighting so the color is off. Her true color can be seen in the photos a few posts up.

Something I noticed, she doesn't have scales down the center of her tail after her vent. Cute. :)

The rest of her belly has normal scales.

Neat project good luck. I really like the coloring on nova but they both look cool.

Thanks! I'm loving the scaleless, the color just pops and they are so very very very soft. ;)

Just an update! Nova is eating fuzzies now. Both are going back into shed...again! Corn snakes grow so fast! So easy to feed compared to my ball pythons.

Both of them are getting so big! However only Nova will stay still enough for pics!

Wow just keep looking better :gj:

They really do! As they are aging they are getting brighter! They are so soft and eat so easily. I lurv them so much

Do scaless corns have any special care needs? I just wondered since they are different....:confusd:
