Just Another Corn Breeder
Parents were sold to me as:

Hypo Bloodred Pied het Anery Charcoal
Hypo Bloodred het Pied

Therefore I expected to get:

50.0% Hypo Diffused ( Diffused, Hypo ) 50% poss het. Anery, Charcoal
50.0% Hypo Diffused Pied ( Diffused, Hypo, Pied ) 50% poss het. Anery, Charcoal

Here are the babies I got. #3 looks like a plasma to me, but that would have to make both parents het lavender. All babies should also have hypo in them, but I'm not sure that they do. What do you guys think?

Snakes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...

If both parents were her anery, the first one could be a ghost bloodred which is what it looks like to me.
 
It's really tempting. I love the diffused gene, and these are some beauties. Alas, money and space are both lacking in my case! :(
 
Wow, those are some verrrrry nicely diffused snakes! Would have expected to see more pied inthere though
 
Ghost bloodred was my first guess, too.

I wonder if the parent that is "heterozygous" pied is actually no-expression pied, because the babies all look like they have that gene, homo.
 
Well, I think I'll label the one as ghost bloodred as everyone mentioned. I compared it to my plasmas but the eyes didn't fit as they do on the ghost bloodred. They are just the same as this photo of a ghost blood, http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/ghost_bloodred/ .

Now you're making my head spin a little bit Nanci... I can definitely see some pied on about half of them. I don't really know how to handle "no-expression pied" if that's what I've got here. But to be sure I've got 50% pied and 50% het pied at least, right? So to update my thoughts:

Parents were sold as:

Hypo Bloodred Pied het Anery Charcoal x Hypo Bloodred het Pied (unrelated)

But if there's a ghost bloodred in there the parents must be:

Hypo Bloodred Pied het Anery Charcoal x Hypo Bloodred het Pied Anery (unrelated)

Any my expectations would become: (with half of them also being pied and the rest het pied)

75.0% Hypo Diffused ( Diffused, Hypo ) 66% poss het. Anery 50% poss het. Charcoal
25.0% Hypo Granite (Ghost Bloodred) ( Anery, Diffused, Hypo ) 50% poss het. Charcoal

To only get one ghost bloodred out of 13 with a 25% chance seems off, but within reason.

I'll update their labeling if that's what sounds right to you guys. Thanks!

In my first clutch with Avalanche Stripe x Hypo Blood heterozygous Snow Stripe I only got _one_ GBR (stripe). Otherwise I'd have never known Pepper was homo hypo. In a different pair, who produced the plasma stripe and some bloodred stripes, the following year, there were _no_ stripes. If that had happened the first year, I'd have thought they weren't actually heterozygous stripe.
 
I agree the first one is a ghost blood and OMG I want that last baby. I just love the bald/funky pattern heads.
 
Yeah, those are my 2 picks if I decide to keep any of them. If you're interested, maybe there's something we can work out... sale or trade.
