This guy started off red and ended up orange, but I still like him.

Thanks Dennis, He is 100% Corn. He came from some pretty typical bloodred parents. I saw pics of some babies from previous years and they were quite red. I don't know what happened to this guy? He just kept getting more orange with every shed. Bloodred Corn aficionados look for dark red Blodred Corns, but I like this guy just the same.

Wow man!,......that thing is totally bizarre! Aside from the solid white chin and darker colored irises(not being a bright orange), I'd almost swear I was looking at an Everglades Rat (rossalleni)..LOL!
Yes, very unique indeed Jorge. I like that one alot dude!

That thing is insane. Not only does it look like an Everglades Rat, it looks like the SIZE of an Everglades as well. That is one cool snake!

Thanks Jeff! I really wish I had a deep red one for some breeding projects I'm planning, but this guy is pretty cool.
