Also known as Bloodred. Recessive mutation that causes the side pattern to blend or “diffuse.” The best examples of this mutation have virtually patternless sides. The ventral checkered pattern of Diffused Cornsnakes is absent, however it is not uncommon for color to bleed onto the belly. Heterozygous Diffused Cornsnakes can sometimes display increased red pigment, however this is not a 100% accurate method to identify hets. Many combination’s featuring Diffused are available.
