Snake of the Day 04-29-14

 SHOW & TELL:

The first Pied-sided (aka: p/s) Bloodred corn of our 2014 season just hours after emergence from its egg.  All the faintly colored body zones seen here will be shockingly red-saturated at maturity, rendering a beautiful corn with stark white sides just below a mostly red pattern zone running down the back.  Few of the high-white-expression individuals will be produced at SMR this year.
