Hi, and I really appreciate your post. I was wondering if you could shed (pun) some light on the stories that the first bloodreds had small if not weak babies.

Also more important to me. The stories of the above lead people to outcross the bloodreds. If so, I'll presume you have some solid info on how many generations it took/will take to work your way back to a "solid looking" bloodred. I outcrossed a female I had years ago and the babies were all over the place looks wise. So I imagine with nice size clutches you in a sense line breed the look from the best looking babies. Which I know makes this question hard to answer.

Sadly I lost that 1st female as she had issues after laying eggs. And with great ignorance I sold the babies. Some were very very nice.

Right now, just by chance I got one of those babies back. Unfortunately it was one that was not so nice. But a female. And she bred to my male.

Again, I was just wondering how long it takes to get nice bloodreds working with outcrosses.

My male is nice, not super special, and my feamle is a rather typical looking outcross.


Ist female from about 6 years ago


Current male, and that pose is no bluff. he thinks hes an african rick python


Outcross feamle. NOT a great pic. She's super timid. So i have not taken many pics

Thanks for reading.
