The last bloodred post made me take some pictures, and I have a few non corns on the list, but I did take new pictures of most of my snakes.

Bloodred male, unknown genes. Prop 06?

Female blood I got this year. Smallish, but I have a lot of feed. Prop 06, unknown genes.

Female outcross I think? 90% her one I sold from a project of a killer female I had a friends male he thought was diffused. Sad shes one of the least looking bloods of that clutch. But a female and some blood genes, so I took her for future breeding.

If you like snakes

The female blood you've got there is amazing.
Hope mine comes out with that nice deep coloration like yours...
Gorgeous!

This is s odd. She's nice, but I do need to get her up to size. But I think she will be darker than I prefer. But I'm just building stock.

But I prefer a brighter red, as most people consider a great bloodred to be almost a deep burgandy. Of course no black is a goal too. I got turned on to these dang things by accident. I've posted it so many times, but we had a snake at the shop, never into corns, I had no idea. On sale for $125 it never sold, so I took it. A red snake (corn) grew on me. I think Kathy Love actually identified it after I sent her a lot of pics.

Bred once, and she did the bloodred dippie doodle.

This was her. And I had no idea what it was. I was never into corns in my first big phase of herps 72-80. And getting back into it in 2001, I had no idea of morphs. I've tried to learn a little. Basics are easy, but it is never ending. But I just like RED bloodreds.

I never took great pics. I did not have a good cam, nor knew she was kind of a special snake. But, she's the one taht got me hooked.

Oh man, I love the deep, rich coloration that you can get out of blood reds. Right now my girl is really dark, but shes only a few months old, so it's hard to tell how she'll turn out.
So in my opinion, the darkest, deepest, bloodiest red possible would make a good blood red, although I know a lot of people prefer something a little brighter and flashier. That's why corns are so much fun, so much variation to make everyone happy somehow.
Here's the baby... she's shed once since this photo, but I didn't notice any difference, although I will be chronicling her change.

Much more diffused than my babies. Maybe next year I buy a few better ones.
