Bloodred?

Hey everyone,

I'm new here and directly with a question! Hope you can help me :)
Yesterday I bought a male and female snake from someone from England. They were sold as being classics het. Pewter. However, they looked very much like Bloodreds but according to the breeder this wouldn't be possible because of the parents. She crossed a classic with a pewter but didn't know exactly the history of the classic (mother). Now I'll give a description of the snakes.. They both have the same color as a normal young blood, the little greyish on the head.. The vanishing pattern on the sides.. Clean belly with a little vanishing orange.. It looks EXACTLY like a normal young bloodred. In all possible aspects. This color and pattern, is it possible on a classic het. pewter? I was thinking.. maybe the mother(classic) of these two young snakes might have been het. for bloodred, in that case it might be possible that my snakes are two bloodreds, right?

Probably the future will show how it turns out but I'm so curious! Hope anyone knows more about this :)

Greets!

Right.............
 
My camera doesn't work at the moment.. But here I found a picture on the internet of another snake that looks much like mine;

The belly has little stripes of orange, same as the colour of a bloodred with the belly slowly turning orange.. Is it possible for a het. animal to have so many specifics of a colour without being that colour?

Thanks!
 
Nobody can help you by looking on any other snake then yours unfortunately..

Try to borrow a camera from someone! :)
 
Haha yeah I know.. But it makes no difference.. It looks exactly the same! However, I'll try to get a picture of my two snakes :)
 
I hope you can get pictures soon that is the only way to help for sure.
If it has a clear belly and lessoned pattern on the sides it could also be a motley, does it have a motley pattern? It is possible to be a bloodred but both parents would have to be het, not just one. ANd yes bloodred characteristics do sometimes come out in the hets. Hope to see pics soon :)
