I apologise in advance as I am new to all this (sankes and certainly morphs), if this is a stupid question.
My local reptile shop has some blood red hatchlings, I trust them implicitly (their advise has been amazing) but out of interest how can I tell that the hatchlings are blood reds. Its just to satisfy my own interest really.
Is there any obivous signs? or is it a parent thing?
Sorry for the stupid question.
Cheers Sean  |

I think you should ask them to be a little more specific as to whether these snakes are just diffused, or whether they're selectively bred diffused that will have a good chance of ending up a blood red colour. Most bloodred normals (when bloodred is used as the old term for meaning diffused) will end up more orange than red.
Have a look at the wide range of colours here to see what "bloodreds" can turn out like: http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/diffused/?sid=621d153c344686d22fad15d8f8758ce3 |

I agree with NexivRed. Bloodred is a term which can be used for a diffused snake but many people think it should be used only to describe a snake which will become a dark red colour as an adult.
There isn't really a way to tell that a bloodred hatchling will end up bloodred rather than diffused. Other than asking about lineage etc and taking an educated guess based on that.
There isn't such a thing as a stupid question on here 
Looking at ians viv is always dangerous for me. I started with one corn snake and now I have two and two more reserved! I keep finding more beautiful colours and patterns and want to collect them all! haha. |

Either way blood red or diffused we like the look of both :D
Told the missus about some other morphs, we only planned to get one. Haha looks like reptiles and fish will fill our new home hehe |

I believe with a bloodred the grey pretty much patternless head is a good marker for bloodred. Obviously the diffused ventral too :-)
Here is a progression thread of my Bloodred

| Is it possible to tell from a hatching what it should look like as an adult if you haven't seen the pairings or is It just a wait and see?? |

| Indeed blood reds should be only red and a very deep red beutifull snake. Some of the pictures of bloodreds on here I would not class as a bloodred . |
