Scaleless garter

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Bug eyed is also an actual on/off mutation.... seen quite often in texas rat snakes. They eyes are so unaturally large, that they are unmistakable! I have seen even normal wild garter snakes that seemed to have larger, more pokey looking eyes. My female erythristic (wc) has huge buggy eyes. I bet when she was a baby, her eyes looked a lot like that!

Come to think of it, my Amy (from Don) is quite "bug-eyed". I didn't think much of it. She's no more bug-eyed than some normal CB or even wild Radixes her age I've seen in photos.

well now that were talkn bout eyes i got a question...when yall handlle, or do anything at all do you ever notice the snakes iris(color part of eye) turn black...later it will return to normal

I do see the iris open and contract, yes. It happens if you feed in low light too. Anytime the snakes go on full alert for any reason, the iris opens wide. It's easy to see when the eye color itself is red or gold. Harder to see on dark colored eyes.

like the ring gets thinner from the outside not innside(not like our eyes) ittl look like its bleeding black into the iris

Interesting read.

Has anyone recently seen any scaleless garters?

Only in my dreams.

there was a scaleless wandering found in the Salt Lake valley a few years back... a Wildlife Officer knew the guy that found it, said it was an odd looking snake... not sure what happened with it... he wanted it, but the guy didn't want to give it up... been looking a lot myself but just can't find any..

Why the hell would you want a snake to not have scales? Surely that can't be a good thing
