[dani11983]

I think the clear line down the center of the belly does say het blood to me.. Is it the charcoal or the het blood part that's in question? It's hard to tell the colors in the picture..

I've heard that the clear line down the middle of the belly might suggest het bloodred.:shrugs:

Exactly..."might" is the important part as not all het bloodreds have it, and some non-het bloodreds do have it.

And I'm going to question the charcoal part a bit as well. I don't recall ever seeing a charcoal show that much pink/pastel coloration. I HAVE seen plenty of anery A's that show that coloration, and some are actually dark ghosts. I would definitely run a breeding trail with a known anery A that is positively NOT het for charcoal to see what sort of babies are produced.

Whatever he is, he's very beautiful. I love the pink on him.

In regards to the Charcoal aspect of the coloration, the snake reminds me very much of Nagini's who is a known charcoal so it's kinda hard to tell.
Maybe if we got a shot of the eye?

This is another photo. Colour is as close to life as I get on my camera.

Also a shot of the eye if that helps (colours are not very accurate):

I say charcoal.

The eyes in those recently posted pics look like they have too much contrast between the iris and pupil for the snake to be a charcoal.
