Show & Tell
I featured this 2016 hatchling on a Snake–Of–The–Day after he first hatched, when he was much less yellow than toDAY. Both parents are Cayenne Fires from the South African hobby line, but in all the years of breeding this line (but NEVER the two parents of toDAY’s featured hatchling) no colors other than classic Bloodred and Fire were ever rendered. If this snake IS a Caramel Fire (aka: Butter Fire OR Butter Amel Bloodred OR Red Factor Butter) he demonstrates how a gene can hide in a family tree for many generations until two snakes with the same genotype are paired.
