Comments: Superior color and size maturity.

This Striped Hypo Bloodred female is now 33″ long and eating frozen/thawed fuzzy mice.  In the inset pic above you will note that her right eye has a noncircular pupil.  Her left eye has a similar anomaly, but not as noticeable.  This is not rare in corns, but often missed by the casual observer.  I’ve never known this ocular anomaly to be heritable, but then again, I’ve never done intentional breeding trials toward that goal. Like most snakes with unpatterened and uncontrasting facial colors, both eyes of this snake appear to be disproportionately large for the snake’s size, but it’s an illusion.  She’s a sweet snake and was almost embarrassingly calm during her photo-shoot.
