Snake of the Day 05-16-18

Show & Tell

Not much red yet, but . . . . . 

This Striped Bloodred will be much redder in the next year, and did you notice the lateral color?  The parents of this snake were both het for the Pied-sided (aka: P/S) gene mutation.  I won’t instigate debate by calling this one a white-less p/s Bloodred, but the different shades of red on the sides are commonly seen on many P/S Bloodreds, regardless of their volume of lateral white.
