Bloodred and Butter projects

[serpentcreations]

The first picture is of Banzai, she was sold to me as a Bloodred possibly het for amel, charcoal, lavender, or hypo. I got her from a show, the guy was selling her second hand and all the clutches of Bloodred got mixed together so they no longer knew all the hets, however I do not believe she is homo Bloodred, she has a checkered belly, but she has a lot of the pink color blended into the white on the belly. The second picture is Rajah, she is a bloodred, and has the plain belly, same issue for the hets for her. I would like to prove their hets out, but am still looking for some good males to do this with. I was also thinking about breeding them with my Butter male, Kovu (3rd picture) he is het for hypo, 50% het motley. or my Hypo Lavender male. The fourth picture is my female butter, Kiara, she is also het for hypo. We will see if the hypo gene has any effect on the butters.

That's a normal corn. Bloodreds have completely grey heads when they are young, and NO belly pattern. I think you got taken in.

Sorry, on second look, I'm not seeing belly checkers... can you get a better pic of the belly?

The 1st one is the one with the normal belly pattern I believe. The second one is the bloodred and appears to have the bloodred belly.. They are very pretty, I hope the first one at least proves to be bloodred.

Yes, the first picture is the normal (hoping het for bloodred, I should've inspected the snake better, but trusted the vendor!) And the second is the bloodred, she does have a plain belly pattern, but does not have a lot of the gray on her head.
