To the best of my knowledge there are no co-dom colubrids. I define "co-dom" in the ball python sense, meaning by breeding a co-dom (let's say mojave) to a normal, you'll get half mojaves and half normals. There are no hets in these types of breedings.

Bloodred can best be described as a color variation - like miami phase and Okeetee phase corn snakes. They have been refined through selective breeding to have almost no pattern as adults. This is different from a simple recessive genetic trait like anerythristic or amelanistic.

If you bred an Okeetee phase to a normal, you get a few babies that look like each parent, but most would fall somewhere in-between in appearance. The same would be true with bloodreds.

I reckon there may be those that have similar or different points of view on this, but that is the way I currently view bloodreds.
