I think we all agree that diffused is a simple recessive genetic trait, right?
From the Corn Snake Manual, year 2000 edition, page 117, Bloodred section:
"The tendency for the ground color to match the blotch color may be a form of hypererythrism (an abnormally excessive amount of red pigment), although it is inherited variably from individual to individual, not like a simple recessive trait."
There are two traits at play. One simple recessive, one not. A normal corn snake cannot be het for bloodred.
