Still a good looking snake.s Soem keep different amounts of red. Might produce soem reds if bred to another high red.

It's like a Mexican Black Milksnake, only different!

Yeah, that happened to my beautiful rattle-snake colored Eastern in less than a year. She started out like this, now she's nearly completely black.
