When it comes to variation within their subspecies, the Serpentes have the classic color differences like Albinism and Leucistic but they also have many, many more variations. These variations can change color or even the frequency of the pattern on the Serpentes so those within the same subspecies can look wildly different from one another. Each one of these variations has a common name known fairly well within the Serpentes species, such as a Snow variant or Lavender variant but those outside of Serpentes circles often have a hard time remembering all the names for the Morphs. If there is no variation in their patterns, then they are most commonly referred to by their subspecies name, however, the term 'normal' or 'normal variation' is also acceptable.

Most variations in Serpentes are genetically passed down, but some of the different color patterns appear seemingly at random in individuals. Any different variation in pattern or color within a subspecies is significantly less common than the normal variant causing them to pop where ever they go. There are some Serpentes families who pride themselves in their 'pure breed variations' as it makes them appear different from the norm, and will even travel all over the world in search of a mate who is compatible with their coloration to make sure their family line stays genetically clean. These extreme families are few and far between as they often have to resort to inbreeding which in turn can lead to birth defects and the eventual death of the family line. Although these families often see themselves as above others and special, outside of their small, tight-knit circles, it is rare to find any Serpentes that think these families are anything but stuck up and attention-seeking.

Other than color and pattern variation, the other main variation between Serpentes subspecies, is the scaleless trait. Like the name implies, when a Serpentes is born with the scaleless trait, it means they have a lack of scales on their body. Now this doesn’t mean they don’t have any scales as all Serpentes have Ventral scales that run along their front side and inner forearm, but those who are scaleless have none or less of the other kinds of scales on their body. Instead of scales covering their body, they have thick baggy skin.

This skin still sheds and gives them a form of protection, but it's not nearly as good at preventing damage as scales would be. Their bodies are also considerably softer and squishier, their colors are more vibrant than other Serpentes and their eyes appear larger due to the lack of scales around them. Because of these traits many Animalian consider scaleless Serpentes to look kinder and easier to approach, but they can be just as rude and nasty as any other Serpentes. The scaleless trait is extremely rare to come across with many Animalian spending most of their lives not even knowing it exists.
