I went to a pet shop the other day and saw a corn snake the owner picked up at the Raleigh show.It was definitely a motley but, it also looked like a bloodred.Anyone have pics of one of these?? Thanks!, jeff

Bloodred pictures are commonly found, but if you're wanting a bloodred motley picture...get in line.

There still isn't a confirmed example of one, so no one knows (for sure) what they would look like. Unless the animal sold at the show was purchased for something around the $500 - $1,000 range, I doubt that it is a motley bloodred.

As a side note...the motley hatchling often times has a grey head and minimal side markings, similar to a bloodred. But the two morphs are distinctive from one another, and once you have seen the two side-by-side, you can easily spot the differences from then onward.

Maybe it was just a hypo motley or something because I know he didn't pay much for it.What threw me off was the grayish markings around it's head. Thanks!, jeff

are you in nc?

i was at the raleigh show?

i picked up a creamsicle and a amel...
and a central american boa and a pair of house geckos.

Did it look like these guys? These are my bloodreds Louie and Anna. They aren't motleys...just thought I'd share the pics!

Hey!, Those are beautiful! The snake I saw had the same colors as yours but,it was motley.The guy paid verylittle for it though so,I guess it's just a normal motley.I may try to trade something for it,if I do I'll post pics. Thanks!, jeff

I have seen a motley with a very grey head, not too long ago. I posted about it, a couple months ago. I was also told it was normal. Wish I had taken a picture of it, because I have never seen one since, or really before that, with a grey head.
