If the tipping were to take over, I would expect you to see a lot more of it at that age/size. There looks to be very little there, and you'll likely see some more come in over time, but I would expect that to turn out to be a fairly clean adult tangerine when all is said and done.

Very nice looking snake there.

BTW, that second triad(the semi-broken one) looks very interesting. Do you know if her parent/siblings had any abberant patterns on them...?

no i dont unfortunatly, i bought the snake at a pet shop and the only thing the guy told me was that he got it from a local breeder who bred custom snakes and this snake was a rare colour

Very clean bi-color tangerine. Nice to see closer pics. Would second Will's comment about the abberant pattern - also goes along with the wide bands that this snake shows. Normally the dark red bands are wider than the narrow, typically lighter tangerine or white bands. When they have been selected for elongation in the narrower bands, they often seem to progress to abberant patterns and spotting.

Great looking hondo - especially if it is a female and that clean,

Whoa! That looks a lot like the tangerine dreams I saw in Daytona. The orange was so intense it looked red.

Incredible hondo!
