and i have a question that i believe will stir the mix up. im not sure who started out with the first blood red, so my opinion might be completely null and void, but
WHAT IF the blood red actually started with a hybrid cross with a bairds rat X corn snake. it just seems that their are to many similarities between bairds rats and bloodred corns. a bairds rat to my inexperience starts out completely grey with somewhat of a pattern and as it matures turns a nice red/orange and keeps the grey head. now that the possability of it being a hybrid is their, hypothetically when you cross the two, the sibilings COULD retain the color and pattern of the corn and get the grey head ( i think someone said sometimes sides also ) of the bairds rat. when the sibiling start to mature the pattern diffuses and the red orange of the bairds comes in to play causing the infusion of the bright colors and accentuating the corns origional colors.
SO EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THIS IS ONLY A STAB IN THE DARK, THIS IS NOT MY OPINION ONLY A OBSERVATION THAT COULD BE A POSSABILITY.
thank you please post YOUR opinions
