Snake of the Day 10-16-17

Show & Tell

Sub-adult Terrazzo mutant demonstrating dramatic hypomelanistic (reduced melanin) expression.  This is NOT a Lava Terrazzo!  This snake is not a Hypomelanistic mutant, so it’s somewhat puzzling that it does not display ANY black (other than the black pupil)?  This one is het for Charcoal and Lava, so in a year or two I will have some Charcoal Lava Terrazzos.  BTW, all 11 of its siblings also did not exhibit any black–other than pupils. Those of you who know me will recall all the times I’ve begged the visual similarities between Diffused/Bloodreds and some Key corns.  Belly View . . .
