The clutch of red babies shed out over the weekend so I took a moment during cleaning to snap a quick comparison between them and one of my mainland brown babies.
The reds really POP now after shedding

I have a few other post showing them off in here.
Maybe once I get back from my vacation in a couple weeks I will break out the light tent and try to get some better pics of all of them… Assuming I am up for the bloodletting experience LOL

One day I hope to have the experience of owning a kukri snake ; mainland or island
Well in another fifty odd days I will likely have another eight added to the pile and I really do not have much use for twenty one of the little buggers so you can fully expect to see some appear on the Market

Maybe just maybe 
That red has to be genetic! Is there any info on if this trait is a incomplete dominant? The banding is simply amazing as well!

Oh it is absolutely genetic, the breeding I did was the first to prove it. No one prior to me had bred Mainland to Tioman

Still TBD. Right now, all I can say is that it is absolutely a dominantly inherited trait as all eight babies hatched out red. I am thinking that I will pair one of the mainland hatchlings with one of these reds and see how those hatch out and also create some genetic diversity in my population. I will also pair my other mainland female to this same Tioman male and get some more “half-reds” to breed to the outcrossed hatchlings
