Is this normal for bloodred bellies? Also there seems to be pigment missing on the snout. This is not a scar, but a white area.

Oh what a beautiful blood!!
I have 2 bloods and one amel blood and all their bellies look like that. In fact as they get older it is almost as though the red spreads over the belly more. I think the white on the nose is just a lack of pigment, nothing to worry about I suspect. Gorgeous animal! No offense to the new morphs but I love em bright...gimme a bloodred, amel bloodred or reverse okeetee anyday to most of the newer morphs.

...white areas on the sides of the snake?
BTW, it's a beautiful bloodred. Kudos.

Don,
After seeing your piebold, I thought about this one and one of the clutch mates that had the whole top of the head lacking pigment. I believe these snakes hail from Frank Pinnelo (sp) lines. Thanks for the compliment. I hope to breed him to his sister in a few.
