Looks good, and I would bet she looks a lot better in person. Any breeding plans?

He will be bred back to his mom and probley his sister to see if the trait is genetic. He has none of the blue/grey onhis sides that most Dumerils have. He's got a pretty unique color and pattern. Thanks.

On second look I think there is some color component missing throughout the whole snake, but not sure what. That may be why his head is so red, because the masking color is missing.
My guess, anyway.

That snake has a lot of qualities of a Madagascar ground boa with the light, reddish head and non-connecting dorsal pattern. If you hadn't produced it I'd wonder about its genetics.
