Snake of the Day 05-15-14

 Show & Tell

2014 Bloodred Tessera.  Interesting how it appears that the lateral red zone seen in ALL P/S (Pied-sided) Bloodred mutants partially supplanted the tessellation on this Tessera? In different words, the delineation between the red sides of P/S Bloodreds has always allowed some lateral pattern, but the checkered gray/red lower laterals on this snake will be deeply and solidly red (like most P/S Bloods),  rendering a spectacular contrast with adjacent tessellation.
