Frank, you really should get bleach out of your snake room. See what happens if you're not careful. lol
Sure is getting more pronounced, isn't it? Can't wait to see it fully mature. Hope it's heritable.

Yeah....I forgot to remove her from the cage when I was cleaning!LOL.
The light areas are getting more noticable as she gains a more solid red look. Also the light areas are picking up colors that you would typically see in a ghost corns.

I'm no expert on cornsnake genetics, but it seems almost as though there is some sort of modified piebaldism going on here. Instead of lack of pigment, the pigment has been bleached to a lighter color.
You have Bleached Piebalds.

I think it's interesting to note how the spots look as if it is a ghost underneath. You said in another post that the father was a hypo het anery and bloodred and that a sibling of it is an anery bloodred. What was the mother? I know she had to have been at least het anery and het bloodred, was she het hypo as well?
Just a wierd observation and question: Could the genetics that it has (het hypo, and possible het anery), that normally wouldn't show up unless homozygous, be showing up because the bloodred colors are being removed?
If so, wouldn't it be a neat way (providing that this spotted trait is heritable) of telling what an animal is het for without doing breeding trails?

The mother was a bloodred het for anery. She was not het for hypo based on that fact I did not hatch any hypos in the clutch when bred to the hypo father. I don't have a clue what caused this abarrency(sp?). It could have been some type of environmental stress during incubation or (and hopfully)it is genetic of some nature.
I plan to breed her back to her father and breed the F1s together to see if it pops up again.
