Snake of the Day 03-26-17

Show & Tell

Perhaps nothing nurtures the discipline of patience like waiting on eggs to hatch.  I find the anticipation exhilarating.

There won’t be many (if any) surprises hiding in these eggs, but certainly treasures.  This female Bloodred (?Diffused Masque?) is one I acquired from a South African corn snake breeder almost a decade ago.  When I pair her with a SA Cayenne Fire, I always get stunning Bloodreds and Canenne Fires.  Below are two 2014 babies from this annual pairing.  Don’t ask why one of them has some ventro-lateral white?  I’ve never bred any P/S Bloodreds with toDAY’s SOTD featured adult female.
