Thanks Chris! I hope the anerythristic spots are more visible, when he colors up during the following year. I'm so glad that the head seems to keep the Harvey Dent look :)
 
Absolutely fascinating.

One wonders if this chimera is of two different sexes if it might pop male, but only be fertile one way....

This is much nearer to the truth than some might guess.

Now if I understand the condition correctly it's because two embryos fused together into one embryo at one point. So it should actually mean you have the full genetics of two individual snakes in one. The expression and conflict of the two genotypes is what causes the rift and physical phenotype of two different morphs.

Precisely.
So : the genetics of the offspring would be determined by the chromosomes in the tissue where the spermatogenesis takes place. If the snake is equipped for spermatogenesis.
Such that : half of this --- "1.0 Tessera het Hypo Anery Bloodred 50% ph Charcoal" --- may or may not be what is delivered in a sperm cell at fertilization.
And...subsequent hatchling percentages would be very much less than perfectly demonstrative of the traditional ratios we are accustomed to seeing.

Of course, I am sure I am late to the party...and all of this is merely restating the obvious. If so, I apologize.
