Marushin nisai Kohaku, 45cm male. This one carries a lot of Hi: a full head that runs into a long body plate, broken by a white cut across the shoulder and finishing with a red step at the tail. The scale reticulation shows through the Hi nicely, a good sign of thick, quality red. Clean white on the nose and along the flanks keeps the pattern framed. A powerful-looking male for the price.
