Meet Red! Belly markings?

[Ravenessa]

I know it's a corny name, but it fits her.. She has an odd belly pattern, no checkers but she is more marked than motley/stripe should be.. or is this ok too since it is not checkers just colorization?? Or is she something else than a normal stripe? Whatever she is she is beautiful... I was cleaning her bin and she came out on her own so I picked her up and took more pictures.. Another very docile snake.. Another one on the skinny side though but she looks amazing...

Tail is completely pink

The markings goes up to halfway up the snake, I thought Motley/stripe had to be clean unless it was vent down?

But look at her colors... She is so bright and vibrant.. She's delicious!

Her belly is totally within the norm.

Thank you Nanci <3 I posted pictures of her on my facebook and another corn person from the facebook group pointed all the color out and that made me unsure..

 

[Nanci]

Facebook can be a source of VERY unreliable information.

Oh I know.. the kids "breeding" there knows about THIS much (holds up a pinch), but I read they couldn't have checkers as in they can't have markings at all was my thought so I wondered if he had a point hence I turned to you guys..

The stuff I have learned by snooping here is amazing.. Im still of course trying to figure out behaviors as the behaviorist I am but snakes are snakes and very much instinctual.. lol

I LOVE the "corny" name!


Beautiful!

 

[Ravenessa]

lol Thank you... It just fits her... even though compared to Nanci's red she gets put to a shame but for a normal regular she is very red.. <3

I don't know what has happened with the old pics.. It is so weird.. stupid facebook.

A couple of old picture of my little Red girl:

She went from a slinky 73 gram girl to a 196 grams (she was a tad underfed when I got her) in 5 months on the 4th of May. but she also changed attitude, she was very timid and is now a cuddle snake. Granted I don't have one mean snake but I never thought this one was going to be this cuddly... Now she is in contest of Miss Fatt butt competition..

I don't know why but I love this little snake...
I know she's "just" a normal but that stripe is pretty smexy..

trying to get a whole body shot using a baby bin.. need better back drop..

and she wasn't too co operative with taking pics.. lol sorry for blurry phone pic but it was too cute..

Beautiful snake! I didn't know that a normal could be striped?

Beautiful snake! I didn't know that a normal could be striped?

When only the Stripe gene is involved, nothing else, the snake is refered to as a Normal Stripe. Motley and Stripe both have kind of a hypo effect however, giving the snake a look all its own. Stripe can be involved in all KINDS of combos. What I'm saying is.. there's sure to be a stripe everything.

Gorgeous snake!! I agree she wears her stipe well.

Thanks for the explanation.

 

[Ravenessa]

lol thanks Jessicat and Cane... she is supposedly het for something, the seller said he had a planned for some red project.. Not sure what he was talking about but she was a bit underweight when I got her.. now she's nice and plump 250 grams.. in 6 months she went from 79 to that on a regular feeding schedule so you can imagine how thin she was..
