There's snakes that stay red, yes? Trying to think....coral snakes, right? What's the most beautiful red snake out there? Okay, now I'm going to have to do a google search or something! I'm curious...
Too bad the shed scales don't stay that brilliant hue of what they were when on the body. I'll look up that thread on shed snake skins in a few minutes - thanks for the link.
