This 2010 Male Plasma (Lavender Bloodred – aka: Diffused Lavender) is now 30″ long and eating frozen/thawed small adult mice. He is a great example of a bi-colored Plasma. He is homozygous for two recessively-inherited mutations; Lavender and Diffused (Bloodred). His colors should fade more with age, compared to most corns that continue to color saturate for a few more years before hitting age-fading color exhibition.
