bloodred stripe? a rare treat, I've never seen pics of those anywhere. It's much darker than marcels normal. I know Marcel loves stripes and is obsessed with bloodreds, you better be careful posting pics like that, you just might find yourself less one bloodred striped someday....

Hmm, that is a tough one. Looking at the first pic I thought that was a normal but very red Striped. The second picture made me doubt if there was some bloodred involved. It sure looks like creeping red what Bloodreds have on their belly. But then again some normal stripes have red and white belly's.

After looking at the first picture I posted (in a rush, of course), I decided to take a little more time and try to get some better pictures. Not having any previous exposure with striped corns, I didn't know whether the belly should look like the belly of a normal (checkered) or not. I was curious as to whether this snake could be a hypo or amel due to the lack of belly pattern.

Seriously. How old is your snake? Did it always have the stripes, or did it develop them as it aged?

I have a pair of bloodreds from Love stock that, over the course of two years, have developed a pair of stripes running down their backs, along with the same dark colors and creeping orange on the belly. Their original saddles are almost invisible, and remain only as traces and speckles of black and a slightly rustier red on their backs, between the stripes. They are beautiful animals.

I'd like to post pictures, but that would require computer literacy, and I don't have any pics online anywhere. But I can email you some, to prove that I ain't lyin'. I might try to figure out how to post, anyway, just to see . . . .

What a gorgeous snake!

That belly is just like the striped corns we have here and I suspect like others out there. I see no influence of bloodred in that belly shot.
