Congrats on finding some sweet-looking corns!

Those almost look like the wild "bloodred" type which tends to vary quite a bit. Older snakes darken which may cause a "redder" look. The snake you have right now is showing some pretty good color for its size. Whether it will turn "red" is hard to say. That DOR looks like an adult and it's not "bloodred-ish."

18 months to two years is usually "prime time" for corns having their brightest coloration. After that wild types often develop a dark "wash" which subdues the once-brighter color of the snake.
