Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My best guess.
It looks like a picture of a picture. My eye thinks it sees a fold running down the center of the page.
On my monitor this is a very red Dumeril's. I'd like to have a red Dumeril's.

Is it a newborn with the bloody membrane still on it?
If it's not a newborn, it looks like it's having a hard time shedding. Is there something wrong with the tip of its tail?
Give me a hint as to what you're looking at.

I thought the same thing about the membrane at first..but llok closer..the snake is dry and the color seems very strange...the tail also does not look right to me either. I have showed this photo to a couple of folks to get opinions but there just seems to be a few thing not right with this photo..I will point out some other things later but I want to see first if anyone else sees the same things we do or it is just our imagination..
This is an animal for sale BTW

There seems to be a purple hue in some spots. Such as on some places of the snake as well as on the rocks in the top right corner next to the snake.

That was the first thing I commented on when Michele sent me this pic...I think I referred to it as a "ghost" dumerils, because its tail just becomes translucent as it crosses his body.
Now, what is it in/about the pattern......(think about the thread title)

Okay, well MY eyes hurt.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the tail. It just looks funny because of how the tail pattern overlaps the body, that and the shadow to the right.
The skin seems really wrinkled near the bends in the body, and it's head seems to be flat down on the gravel, so I'm thinking I agree with Dennis. It looks dead.
Oh, and it was definitely altered. Some of the gravel is pinkish.

not saying that there is anything "wrong" with the tail, just that it is messed up in the pic. it is as if you can see through it. notice how you lose the border definition as it crosses the body...AND how it looks like the end of the tail is cut off and just sitting their - almost as if you are looking into the end of the stump. A result of being altered (the pic, not the snake)?
