Has anyone had color like this on the lighter bands ,after each shed it gets redder and redder,there are some scales that are solid red and it shows more and more with each shed,thanks Terry

Sorry wrong picture,here he is,Terry

Terry,

Cool TC-Hypo! Mine has some of the red tipping in the cream, but very little. She is a yearling I was lucky enough to get from Amro (off the kingsnake boards, what's up Amro!). I have noticed that the black bands are actually getting thinner with each shed, and showing more red underneath them. Some of the scales are part red and part black, and the red is even starting to pop up next to the cream, inside of the black bands. My favorite snake by far!

And a shot of some other rings and her head. Kind of fuzzy but she wouldn't sit still long enough to get a good shot.

Very nice animal,I can see why that is your favorite snake,looking forward to seeing how they turn out ,I have a pair of them,Terry M

Hey Terry,

Check out my posting below (scroll down the page on the milksnake forum about 37 topics below entitled " Developmental stages of a female hypo tricolor honduran milksnake ". There, I posted 3 pics of my hypo tricolor that is now 2 years old but started as hatchling pics, then yearling, then now. It will show you how mine developed as ultra clean... and the red scales have even become more red as it grew older. That should give you an idea of how yours might develop...who knows. Hope yours too.

Thanks,

Andy,I posted that picture by mistake,that snake is a hybrid,I don't mess with hybrids anymore,he was a F2 amel Florida king X tangerine honduran,Terry

Thanks.....I have never seen such a snake color! Is there a problem with them as far as future breedings? If you breed them do you get more of the same? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Andy

Some hybrids are dull and ugly and some are breath taking that one is breath taking.
