Most Commonly Used Name: Striped Bloodred
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Recessive
Type: Double mutation compound (Stripe + Diffused)
Go to History or more details about the DIFFUSED / BLOODRED base mutation of this compound morph.
Combining the two recessive gene mutations Stripe and Diffused (aka: bloodred) renders a pale version of the Diffused mutation, most of which lost their stripe during maturity.
What to expect:
I’m sorry that we’re only pictorially demonstrating a neonate specimen, but we have no adults in our current inventory. To date, all of the Striped Diffused (aka: Striped Bloodred) corns we’ve marketed were produced by or reproduced from Rich Hume stock (arguably the original and premier breeder of more than a dozen different Striped Bloodred types), since we held back a few in past few years, with which to start our own breeding stable of this diverse Morph Line.
Many Striped Bloodreds hatch with partial striping and “tweener” markings (faded markings that appear on the dorsum in zones that would ordinarily be between dorsal blotches in wild-type patterns). Both tweener and striped markings fade with age, and most adults barely show any pattern, except under strong light. By adulthood, most Striped Bloodred (Diffused Stripe) types have lost most of their markings, often rendering the appearance of a uni-colored, pattern-less corn snake. Hence, don’t be disappointed if your neonate Striped Bloodred demonstrates less than perfect markings, because it will likely show no markings at all as an adult.
General Note:
While most of the snakes we produce will mature to resemble the featured adult image(s) on our web site, unlike manufactured products that are respectively identical to each other, the nature of polygenic variation results in no two specimens being exactly the same. The snake we select for you may not mature to be identical to the pictured examples, but will be chosen based on our experience of observing which neonates will mature to properly represent their respective morph. We take this responsibility very seriously, and therefore publish the guarantee that we will replace your SMR snake if it does not mature to be like our advertised examples.
