Is this real?

Hi All,

As many of you know, I adore large species of Anura like Pyxicephalus adspersus. However, I am also a sucker for the colour red. Hence my screen name. It is both an Anura and red.

So, when I saw this Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBx6qvweP4U, I just had to ask, if, this Pantherophis guttatus was NOT manipulated, colour wise.

Thank you, all for your time and for looking. I am looking forward to everyone's responses. Lastly, if, this is a real colour mutation of Pantherophis guttatus can someone direct me to a breeder?

Thanks again.

The color is off a bit in the video, but I believe due to bad light and not due to any manipulation. It would be hard to change the color of one and not the other. Quite an amazing saturation on that animal though. Would love to see it in person.

By a bit off, you mean making the specimen look "more red" then it actually is? That is what I assume you mean Glad to hear...well see..... it was not manipulated "on purpose".

That is very true. Just with all this "fancy" computer "stuff", I am just never sure what is "natural v.s. enhanced".

Ohh how I agree. Can I ask, for the best "examples" of the Blood Red colour mutation you have seen, whenever you have time? Thanks in advance.

You and me both.

Thanks for your time.

Gorgeous snake - I love the reds too! There may be some distortion of the color due to lighting, but probably not much.

Don Soderberg, at South Mountain Reptiles is working with some awesome red morphs - his cayenne fires, and cherry amels are incredible!

I second that recommendation for Mr. Soderberg. When I was breeding corns, I got some amazing stuff from him including an incredible bloodred sunglow. Corns carrying bloodred can get amazingly bright.

Glad to "hear", well see LOL, that I am NOT the only one that loves the color red.

Wow, what is the colour mutation shown in that Youtube? It is simply amazing! I want one similar to/like that.

I completely agree that Mr. Soderberg breeds some awesome red morphs. Do you happen to have picture's of the Cayenne Fire's and or the Cherry Amels? Since, I can not seem to find them on the above website. Or, could you direct me to photo's shown on website. Either way, thank you.

It is always great, in my humble opinion, to get various members positive feedback on a seller.

There's a cayenne fire on that page.

Unfortunately, I don't have any older collection pics, as I have not worked with corns in many years.

Don is absolutely wonderful. I have 3 corns from him. Not only are they lovely, they are very healthy and handlable. If you go to his site, go to snake of the day and search for your color morphs. They will come up. Also go to the for sale section. There you have the choice of hatchlings and surplus. For hatchling, they are organized by color, click on the color swatch of your choice. For the surplus, each one available is pictured. You can also contact Don through the site and describe what you are looking for... I have 3 on order with him now. HE ALSO HAS ONE OF THE BEST TOS IN THE BUSINESS. Great man, loves what he does.

Let's not turn this into a BOI thread about Don please...

Sorry. Over-exuberant.
