Jan,



I will try to explain something about bloodred to you. First off let me show you pictures of the belly of my normal Amel Motley. Note, this snake has 0% Bloodred in her genes:











As you can see the first part of the neck is white and the last 2/3 is colored. No bloodred or whatsoever in here...



Now look at this Amel Bloodred belly:





Please notice that the white goes all the way to the end. The big difference with a Motley or Striped is that the belly has creeping (in Dutch 'op kruipend rood') and that the white has a metallic glance (lijkt mataal achtig). Motley and Stripe do not have this.



Then bloodreds have a faded pattern (een vervagend patroon):







Most Bloodred babies have a lot of grey coloring. Some have complete grey heads. That is because 99% of all Bloodreds have NO HEAD PATTERN:





You talk about linebred color. That is absolutely not the case with Bloodred. Linebred is used in CandyCane, Crimson, Sunglow. Bloodred is a pure Pattern morph. Here are some other colored Bloodreds:



Bloodred Anery A:



Please notice the fading pattern and white belly and head without pattern. Picture courtesy of Don from SMR.



Bloodred Anery B:

Here is a classic example from a Bloodred. Also from Don S.:







Now, about the Bloodred you think there is in your snakes. I have talked with Pablo over this a year ago. I asked him why he called them Bloodred Motleys. He told me because they are very red. I asked if there any true Bloodred in their genes. He told me 'No'. I have tried to tell you before. I will ask Pablo to join the discussion over here.



So, looking at your snakes, I think they lack all major Bloodred signs. I am sorry about that but it simply is not different.



Marcel
