I had a c-700 Olympus. My dog knocked it over one day and it broke into a million pieces. It cost more to repair than it was worth.

I had it all apart even the lens pieces. Tried to clean and reassembled.

So my blood red is in shed or he would be here. This is a female I just got back. I sold it as a baby. Mom was a spanking bloodred, I forget what the male was as it was someone else's. But as I recall it was looked diffused. I'd like a picture of him.

So. Hopefully some of the good blood is in her for next year. But camera seems to works.

ps this snake sat in any position I set it into. My male I would have been chasing into the woods.

That last one is definately a hybrid! I can't put my finger on just what is in it but I would guess rattlesnake or copperhead judging by the eyes.....

All the same snake, last one has a hybrid of a manx x corn x goat, gopher, and yes copper head,,, good eye!

Mama of snake

Papa of the snake was owned by a friend that still does not want to talk to me. Still need a picture of papa.

Sadly the mom died after her first and only clutch. Major bummer. Hind sight being 20/20 I should have kept all my share of the clutch and bought the others. Some had solid white bellies and very silver.

My thinking is I have a good male, 6.5/10,, 95% sure only 2 years old. He was quite smaller when I got him last year.

and the bloodred is so unknown, and extremely highly variable, that at least she is het for all her moms traits including the recessive gene of diffused. A nice size clutch I presume will put out snakes that look a bit like okeetees (like the clutch she came from) but are not or course, and some better ones (like our first clutch). Raise them all up to a year, and keep the best for my stock. That spanking mama had 8 babies. They were all over the place on how they looked. But now I know more about them. I just got my green belt as a corn snake guru. (Inside joke).
Heck when I took the mama, I did not know she was a bloodred, nor what a bloodred was, I just liked her and no one was buying her. We had her up for sale for $125 for 6 months and no one bought her. So, again I took her home.

I feel lucky I got one of her babies back, even if one of the poorest looking ones.

Side note my male is totally psycho. He acts like an atrox. He strikes at tub if you get within 10' at times. He is WELL fed as you can see, so it is not a food issue. That female is the calmest corn I have ever seen. I posed her and she just stayed there for 15 minutes in the sun. Even up to the point where one of my cats came to see what I was doing. So maybe babies will have a better temperament too.

Sorry, no real hybrid snakes at my house.
