Now I'm thinking that you are around so many animals with horrible problems(being a vet tech) that you are "expecting" these same problems from every weird looking snake there is..LOL!



Take a couple valium(or Ketamine..LOL!), and relax,.....this is not the way it is with snakes, believe me. No hip dysplasia either..LOL!



There are countless TENS OF THOUSANDS of weird patterned snakes produced every single year with zero problems. I produced about 130 snakes this year, and no problems, aside from the two-headed albino Honduran that didn't survive out of the egg, but it had absolutely normal rings, and was NOT an aberrant patterned individual...LOL!



A good friend of mine has produced about 11,000 snakes, of ALL different kinds over the course of many years, and he produced TONS of pattern anomalies over the years too, and NONE have a corrolation with lethal, or defective genes. Snakes die, and don't hatch for all sorts of weird reasons, but the weird pattern theory just isn't one of them.



So has the valium or Ketamine kicked in yet?..LOL!



I hope this just about concludes the funky pattern mystery now...I'm going to bed!



Oh!, one last pic for ya,...this weird piebald bloodred corn is alive and well too, and couldn't be doing better.
