Yeah, well, the plain white belly's, funny head patterning, and gray-ish coloration in many as hatchlings, and diffused side patterning would only pertain to the "bloodred" strain already known to the hobby. This isn't to say at all that any possible other "bloodred" phenotypes couldn't be very different than those. I know the belly of that one you captured years ago had very strong red pigment bleeding onto the belly from the ventro-lateral area. Do you remember it having any checkering, or no?.......that was one KILLER snake!!, and you should be "tarred & feathered" for not keeping it..

Anyway, nice find, and it will be very interesting to see what it turns out like as it matures more..
