On the contrary, I believe that the red pigment increases as they mature from babies to adults. You won't find babies with all that red. Also, I don't know if I'd consider this "high red" or whatever. You can basically call it what you want. It's actually not all that uncommon for northwesterns to have flecks or areas of red pigment giving the impression that they have been splattered with, or crawled through red paint. It's just that this particular snake has an exceptionally large amount of that red pigment. It's not a mutation or anything like that so I don't think I'd call it "hypererythristic" but one could call it that I suppose.
