Mark,



I honestly don't see it... not even in the one you're calling a "het red." I was told the original pair of het reds that were sold to Corey were from two black-backs the Snake Keeper bred together. The male was then sold and was supposedly bought back years later. I have heard nothing about the where abouts of the original female. Perhaps one was a het red and the other was not. I think the original gene that the snakekeeper had may have been lost. The entire story behind this Snakekeeper line is just too questionable. Corey himself never felt that they were the real thing yet they were still sold as het reds. I think you may have a genetic black-back, but no het red. I would be very surprised to see a Red Axanthic produced from that line and until someone does, I think it is a bit premature to label them as het reds.



And just for the record, I have had several positive business interactios with Eden Snakes and this is not meant as an attack. I just think there are far too many unanswered questions with this snake keeper line.
