He shows red bars. He also shows purple or blue. Just depends on his mood. Right now after his morning mist he has blue and purple ( blue on top purple on bottom) on the 3 bars near his back leg. Blue tops red bottoms on his mid section and red tops blue bottom near his front leg/ head. I wish I had a real camera. I just use my phone and it does not do him justice. I will try and borrow the 7d again to take pictures.
