I think I see belly checkers in one of the pics. If there are checkers on the belly, he is neither a bloodred nor a diffused...
 
hmmm.. coming to think of it. I'm not sure. Doesn't diffused effect the belly checkers?

What she said :crazy01:
Should've been quicker with my correction
[or not so quick with my first post]
 
Not blood red. The belly checkers are the main clue, but the head pattern/coloration isn't "typical" of a bloodred, either. AND the sides aren't diffused (but neither are my bloodred Jasmine's!)
 
It is not a genetic Blood/diffused for the reasons given above.
:-offtopic But I notice how people randomly use morph "names" to describe an animal's attributes. At the Tinley show there was a vendor selling "Fire" stripes for $70. I was ready to buy all three and then I started to ask questions and found out they were actually very bright striped Amels. Big difference to me but the naming didn't seem to matter to the vendor. He liked the name and thought it aptly described his snakes so he used it, case closed. It just goes to show you if you are buying an animal on looks alone no problem, but if you are looking for genetic material ask a lot of questions.
Nice snake regardless of it's genetics!

Here is a nice example of bloodred/diffused head patterns...

Normal. Ventral checkers alone says "not blood." That doesn't mean it isn't pretty or a good snake, but its just a normal or (as some people call all normals) "classic."
