Red snakeskins..

[brewmaster15]

Hi all,
I'd like to see pics of any red Snakeskins you have? I have one that I think is Pretty "Red" and I need some comparisons. This one was the drabbest dirt brown juvie I ever had . I almost sent it packing...but am glad I didn't. If you have some red snakes please share them here, I have always had adult blue snakes...never an adult Red.

thanks,
al

These guys were sold to me as red snakeskins. I bought them at about 2".

They are now about 4" - think they are about 9 months now. They may be a bit young to help you but will post them to see if they are any help.

Hey Al,

Here is a Red Snake from Cary. When I got him last May, he was pretty small so I don't think he's quite a year old yet. I'm hoping he'll put on some more size. He's colored up pretty nice though. :)

hth!

Here's one I recently showed on another post. She has no color but I love the deep red-brown color and the black ring around her body...

Ya, LOL... Even without the pattern she is really a sweet looking discus in person.... Very unique to me...

Heres my most Red Snake... The blues in the background give a good reference that this isn't a color enhances pic.

Al,

Are any of these the parents to the beautiful juvies you sent me?

I like all of those but actually the one with fewer markings really floats my boat!

Hi "Cary the lesser" :)
No the red snakes you got are from a red turQ X red snake cross.. The mother is the snake and she looks alot like Brian's fish. I'll try to take you some pics... Shes currently paired with a heckel :D


Nice snakeskins everyone!
