Hypo Bloodred (aka: Hypo Blood, Diffused Hypo)
Most Commonly Used Name: Hypo Bloodred
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Recessive
Morph Type: Mutation Compound (Hypo + Bloodred)
Eye Color: Black pupil & body ground colored iris (some can be so hypomelanistic, their pupils can be gray to dark red).
 

Go to History for more details about the DIFFUSED / BLOODRED base mutation of this compound morph.

This compound morph results from combining the color mutation, Hypo with the pattern mutation, Bloodred.  As with most morph compounds that include Bloodred, the Hypo bloodred mutation‘s color effect is greatly diffused (markings often barely visible), but unlike the red eyes on the Fire Corn, the pupils of most Hypo Bloods are black.  Occasionally, one will have reddish-black pupils, but unless red in the pupil is being seen under strong light, pupils are almost always black.  Except for some of the color and pattern variants of this mutation compound, some Hypo Bloods have such diminished melanin that they are indistinguishable from Fire Corns (except for eye color).

 

 

What to expect:
Many Hypo Bloodred hatchlings look like little more than regular Bloodred Corns, but their overall coloration is more pale – in the dramatic reduction of melanin. Compared to the red of the Fire Corn, most Hypo Bloodreds are more orange.  In time, we should be able to infuse more red via polygenetics and/or the red mask mutation.  Adults should have a softer look than their classic Bloodred counterparts – due in part to the overall reduction of melanin. 

 

Important Note:
  These images are not renderings of the actual animals being offered, (except for uniquely offered snakes found in the SURPLUS section of this web site).  We do not provide pictures of individual hatchling snakes for sale, nor do we recommend that you ever choose a new pet based on an image of its neonatal form.  Corns change so dramatically from hatchling to adult, they will NEVER have the same colors or contrasts throughout maturity. 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 clones of each other, the nature of polygenic variation results in each animal being similar but not identical to others of its morph. 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 exchange your SMR snake if it does not mature to be like our advertised examples.
