Bloodred Motley Question

I AM A:
How do you know if you have a bloodred motley without knowing it's genetics? The belly will be free of checkers anyway, since it's a bloodred. And as it ages, it would lose most of it's markings anyway, correct? I guess I'm just curious, as I don't think I've seen many of these, but In my bloodred, It looks like it's sorta showing the motley trait (as far as it's connecting saddles), but I always just chalked it up to a good looking blood.
 
I think you can find out by breeding it . If you breed it to a normal motley , you will get motleys het blood , if your blood is not a motley you will get normals het blood , het motley ( I think) . Maybe an interesting breeding is to an amelmotley . If your blood is a motley , you will get some nice hets for the future . :sidestep:
 
The only way is breeding trials. If you breed a homozygous bloodred motley to a motley, you get all motleys het bloodred. If you breed a homozygous bloodred motley to a bloodred, you get bloodreds het motley.

There is no other way of testing it out other than breeding your suspected snake to both a bloored and a motley.

You CANNOT go on looks.
 
Ya, unless/until it's proven that there is a way to identify them visually it'll be a matter of breeding trials.

For example, they might have the typical motley dorsal pattern but a missing side pattern.
