Bloodred isn't a simple recessive genetic trait. It's a combination of diffused sided (which is recessive) and an abundance of red pigmentation (which is not recessive). The "abundance of red pigment" aspect of bloodreds works the same way as Miami Corns or Okeetee Corns would work if bred back to a normal corn - some of the offspring would look "Miamish" or "Okeeteeish" but they wouldn't be hets for anything. Nor would they be Miamis or Okeetees (although the definition of each is somewhat subjective)."
This is why I said they show an influence from the bloodred. So you don't think a corn snake can be het for bloodred? I think I understand what you are saying but it's kinda splitting hairs isn't it? Bloodred is almost synominous with diffused. Well let's say all bloodreds are diffused but not all diffused look like a true bloodred?
