    Solana - Our Scaleless Sunglow Motley Corn

    Long story short, I have been wanting a scaleless corn for some time. About 8 months ago, I convinced Katie to let me get one more snake. She caved and I decided I wanted something different, a challenge, and we ended up with Behira, our now 2 year old female Ghost BCI. I have no regrets. She's an amazing snake! I adore her. However, I have room in my Boaphile 5 floor condo for one more animal to fit into a 3X2' enclosure. I got back to thinking about another corn.

    Katie said okay, as long as it was an animal worth getting and being our last (out of room and leeway from Katie - Behira was supposed to be the last).

    Yesterday, I found that amazing animal. Today, I officially paid for her, although because of logistics and scheduling, I probably won't receive her until the end of June.

    Meet Solana (Katie named her and it means Sun in Spanish).

    She's 3 months old now and is a Scaleless Sunglow Motley Corn, likely the first for sale in the US.

    Her colors are real vibrant. Explains the name. Cool pick up enjoy. Please update now and then on her cause I don't see older scaleless corns enough. Also to all the people who don't like scaleless just try to look at them as land eels.

    As soon as I saw her, showed her to Katie, and found out she is chill and tame already, I couldn't let her get away. She looks incredible and supposedly has a personality to match.

    Land Eels, love it! Luckily, I love to take pics and post, so you all will watch her grow!

    Yes, I will post many updates! Forgot about the shed; it's got to be really cool.

    Agreed. They need some scales - mouth, belly, nose, etc. to protect the soft skin and the belly scales to allow movement. They move just like other corns because they do have belly scales. They would be helpless to move well without them.

    I cannot wait, but I need to. I am just glad I got her. I called immediately and put her on hold. Needless to say, other inquiries came in fast. I wasn't letting her get away.

    Need to have time to devote to her and Katie has a friend staying with us today through the 19th. It's going to be crazy as I am still working. Don was happy to hold her for a few weeks. It's probably for the best.

    Also need to:

    1. Set up a 10G or so Quarantine Tank.

    2. Get it dialed in.

    3. Get F/T pinkies - nothing I have eats less than large/jumbo mice

    4. Make sure I have tiny tiny hides and a small water bowl.

    I want everything to be ready when she gets her. Not taking any risks.

    Regarding the collection, it's complete.

    I have every animal I've realistically wanted and it's a diverse collection.

    0.1 - Albino Spider BP: Shayna - Have wanted an albino BP since I was a kid - and she is awesome.

    0.1 - Ghost BCI: Behira - Amazing animal; beautiful and brave and docile.

    1.0 - Hypo Lavender Corn: Figment - Beautiful, amazing temperament, and eats like a champ

    0.0.1 - Northern Blue Tongue Skink: Frank - Awesome animal - amazing personality.

    0.3 - Leopard Geckos, all different and beautiful morphs - Different personalities, but all fun and easy and pretty animals.

    0.1 - SCALELESS Sunglow Motley Corn - Can't wait!!!!!!!!

    Looks like a good collection to me!

    Looks like a Great collection for anybody, that’s one sweet collection you got going there. Three really gorgeous snakes, an Albino Spider, a Ghost Boa and a scaleless Sunglow Motley. Plus a Northern Blue Tounge Skink and Leopard Geckos. Sounds like a slice of Heaven to me! And it’s always great to be prepared, God speed can’t wait to see you post some pics of your lastest acquisition from your home.

    While I'm not a fan of these, I do understand it's one of your dream snakes and I'm really happy for you, it is super exciting to get something you've wanted for so long!
    Don is a great guy, I've bought corns from him in the past.

    Something cheap and easy and what i did for baby corns - get a toilet paper core, cut it in half lengthwise. Ta-da, instant tiny hide that is free and easily disposable when soiled.
    They'll outgrow tiny hides pretty fast so I wouldn't waste your money on buying some. Also for an easy small water bowl, I use ramekins.

    Good luck with your new little one!
