    If she's a Northwestern, her parents had to be as well. Unless I am mistaken, the intergrades are the only way to get offspring that is a differing sub species than the parents.

    well, yes and no, they wouldn't be a subspecies at all, just an "intergrade"... but I know what you were getting at! That definitely looks like a pure northwestern, and yes ordinoes are VERY variable and the do come in plain brown, so I am sure this snakes parents were just brown ones that threw a red striped baby. That is certainly a beautiful snake!

    Blood is a very pretty snake. I wouldn't mind having some T. ordinoides, some day.
