Snake of the Day 05-11-14

 Show & Tell

First, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY  to all your MOMs out there!

Some hatchling Bloodreds demonstrate such dramatic lack of lateral pattern that they are often initially misidentified as pied-sided mutants.  Ordinarily, at this age, a Bloodred like this (with so much visible lateral-white) could not be suspected of being a “white-sided” Bloodred, however, this one is from two adults that are het for Rich Hume‘s WHITE-SIDED Granite Corn Snake.   Bonus pic . . .
