If so what kind of babies do you end up with?

Don has. I am sure Kathy and several others have too.

0.1 Snow Corn "Hope"

1. Orange Albino Black Ratsnake "Chunk" (Goonies)
.1 Orange Albino Black Ratsnake "Peaches"
0.0.1 Mexican Black Kingsnake "Onyx"

I just hoping my Blood red is a true blood red.

Here's a pic when I first got her

Recent pic's. I may be wrong but I don't think she is a Bloodred.

Can you get a picture of the belly? Because im quite sure bloodreds lack belly checker boarding and from the looks of that second picture in the second post it has ventral checker boarding. I may be wrong but I'll take the risk and say it not a bloodred.

I feel the same way. The older she gets less she looks like a bloodred. I will take some more pic's tonight.

here are two pic. So is this just regular corn or what?

When compared to the picture that guy posted up above in that other topic yours looks like a normal. Unless I'm missing something but that looks like a normal to me. So nope no bloodred. Even that guys hatchling corn had a patternless belly and yours is obviously bigger than his with a checkerboard belly.

At the very least, that animal is het for bloodred and has the greatest expression of the episkiastism trait I have seen in a while. Assuming for a moment that "epi" actually IS a co-dominant trait as some surmise...

However, I would argue that the belly looks like a completely typical bloodred's, and that, while the animal is perhaps not the best example of "bloodred" as a trait mixture...if you breed it to another bloodred, you should get all bloodred babies.

It is not a normal (non-bloodred, I mean), and those belly markings, with the infusion of red coloration from the sides of the belly scales inward, especially heavily marked with red toward the back half of the snake, is EXACTLY what you would look to find in a bloodred animal.

Congrats on a nice snake!

thanks for the help guys.

Bloodred x amel (assuming no compatable hets hidden in the mix) give you:

100% Normals het for amelanism AND episkiastism (the pattern morph of the bloodred). Because of the question of episkiastism's co-dominance (which is not at all determined as of yet, but is merely suspected right now), you could have evidence of the het patterning on the belly of your babies to one degree or another.

Hope that helps a bit!
