I'm no expert but we do have to consider all the possibilities of colors in between orange and red. some albino hogs are yellow- orange. Most seem to be orange. Very few go beyond that.

We will probably see few that match the scarlet red that the Lampropeltis display.

I will post one of mine that I consider red. He is by far the reddest one I have ever owned. Someone else may have a darker one or think that he is just dark orange. Wendell Spisak had a great idea a few years back. He took pics of his snakes next to universal color paints. This way the buyer could determine the degree of color compared to something universally colored.
