This is just an ordinary normal. I use newspaper to line the deli cups and try to avoid colored ink. However, I got in a rush (with 120 hatchlings wanting to be fed, and only a short time to do it...) and used what I had. This is the result of (at least) red ink and a hatchling that spills it's water dish.

Unscrupulous (sp?) breeders might sell this as something special and probably get a buyer, who would then find a differently colored snake after it shed.

Just a warning!
 
Very interesting! I didn't know ink from paper would color them that much. It much have been a large area of red.

I saw the photos before I read the post and thought, wow, what a cool looking snake. I guess I could be one of those to be fooled. :D
 
It doesn't have to be a terribly large section, 1 inch square should do it, but the hatchling does have to sit in the wet newspaper (and I mean SOAKED) for a few days. And it's more often the new hatchlings that get colored. I don't see this (to this extent) in older hatchlings (just a month or so old). This one hasn't had it's second shed yet.
 
LOL
but either way
its a very nice looking snake
but if it was that colored it would have been great and I think that a lot of people might just try and get that snake~

I remember Bill Love telling me that there was this guy that sold his 'Green Phase 50/50 Cal King' and actually sold it but after the first shed from the buyer....well...a nice looking Cal King that was paid at least 100% higher than original price....
