These with the brilliant red out of the egg lose it and become yellow/orange as adults.....
Some holbrooki, like the ones in central and eastern Louisiana, are "called salt and pepper kings" because they are almost black and white with no yellow.....
Throughout the splendida range the variation is very similar.....There are bright yellow ones to almost white ones with very little yellow.
Personally, I have never seen a splendida with red on it as a hatchling, but I have seen bright orange/yellow that fades to a nice yellow. ----- John Lassiter
