Bloodred Granite?

[Kronos]

I just purchased a '10 hatchling at ReptiCon, labelled a Bloodred - Granite. It looks like a typical bloodred hatchling, with less patterning on the sides. I'm not real familiar with this morph and am having trouble finding information on it.

So I have a few questions:
What does the Granite term mean?
What will a Bloodred - Granite look like as an adult?
Anyone have any pictures or links to pictures?

Thanks.

So I have a few questions:
What does the Granite term mean? A granite corn snake is a snake that is expressing anerythrism type "A" and diffusion, aka "bloodred"

What will a Bloodred - Granite look like as an adult? Google

Anyone have any pictures or links to pictures? again...Google

Also check put Ians Vivarium (yes, google it ) for morph pics, including pics of Granites

If it looks like a typical bloodred corn the label probably meant it is a bloodred het for granite, meaning it's expressing Diffusion and carrying but not expressing Anerythrism "A".

Google isn't the best plan, i was searching for ETB and GTP and i got pictures of corn snakes..

Ouch...If my browser was showing an address window I would have linked some sites, but somehow I turned that option off and haven't figured out how to get it back :shrugs:

Yeah, I haven't had much luck searching Google for this morph either. I was searching posts here and found this thread:

The fourth post has a hatchling that looks like mine. I just got it so I don't want to stress it out by trying to take a picture.

I'm guessing Chris68 is probably right about it being het for granite...but I'm not an expert on the morphs yet.

most people use the "granite" term for anerybloods.

I believe the term "granite" was first used for the locality terrazzos but this name didn't survive. I might be wrong...

 

[Kronos]

What exactly is an aneryblood?

 

[Susan]

The person labeling the hatchling may not have been sure if the hatchling was a normal bloodred or a granite (anery bloodred) because sometimes at hatching, a normal may be so dark that a novice may not be able to distinguish between the two. Either that or as already mentioned, it could be a bloodred het for granite.

This is a granite! Anery + bloodred. I made him!!

When he was a baby, he looked like this:

Nanci - thanks for the pictures. My hatchling doesn't look this, but looks more like the one in the post I added as a link a few responses ago. So I assume it's most likely a "normal" bloodred that's probably het for granit?

Nanci, your snake is beautiful, BTW.

This is a bloodred from the same clutch, at the same age:

What exactly is an aneryblood?

an aneryblood is a cornsnake which is hom. for anery and bloodred. those animals are called aneryblood or granite. Nanci showed a picture of such an animal in the posting above.

 

[Nanci]

The babies above are shown right at hatching. Before the first shed. The first baby to pip was a granite. The mother of the clutch was only (at the time) poss het anery, so I was expecting bloodreds only. So that little nose came out, and I thought, oh, bloodreds are _really_ dark when they hatch! I just couldn't get it through my head that the first pippy would prove the mother out for het anery. As soon as the third baby pipped, though- there was an obvious difference!
