Show & Tell
Just hours after hatching, this beautiful Pied-sided (P/S) Bloodred corn snake demonstrates what a large yolk she absorbed before leaving her egg (elongated stomach distension that dramatizes the largely color-less laterals in most of the last half of her body). Yes, she will get much redder with maturity. Both parents are very richly red colored. Bonus pic

Same snake in different pose. Notice the heart (sub-dermal dark spot 1/3-1/4 back from the head)? In just a few weeks, as muscles get greater density, the heart will be barely visible, but those of you out there who have had pale hatchling corns (and even some adults) will attest to have seen the hearts beating in the likes of Snows, Butters, Blizzards, hypos, etc..
