This snake was one of seven from an okeetee female and amel male. The other six are normal. I have no idea what it is. It has normal pigment on most of its head and part of its neck and the rest has reduced black and red pigment.

Certainly doesn't look like any 'proven' mutations I know of. Very cool. Take good care of it, see how it turns out. Unless you want to give it to me, of course

Wow! That's the first "morph" I've seen in a couple of years that I really like. I've seen a similar look several times lately, particularly with amel combos. Rich Z has a pic of one on his cornsnake forums, I think.
No one is sure what's going on, but it seems to be getting more common. Well, not common, but its out there.
In any case, its a pretty little thing worth watching as it grows.
Good luck

Thats definately something different. A few others like that were hatched last year and this year. It hasn't been proven how the genetics work out yet. I'd get a hold of Frank Pinello (he has a bloodred much like that) and Rich Z for some further insight.
