Serpent's Kiss exclusively dropping half red hearts.

Anyone know why this might happen? I was really counting on black hearts to stack up in The Void before the boss fight. Eve probably won't be able to beat Delirium, she's my last character that needs the kill. =/

You probably have another item or a trinket which interacts with Serpent's Kiss, since this item can't give red hearts by itself.

I agree with you, but I was wondering what that might be and if anyone had seen the same thing.

I had Brimstone, but Brimstone works with Serpent's Kiss usually, if you let enemies (such as the flies on Hush) die from poison. Pretty sure Swallowed Penny doesn't give you red hearts, and my other items weren't that out of the ordinary...

Brimstone doesn't care about heart drops indeed, as well as swallowed penny.

The first item which comes to my mind with the effect you described is Gimpy. This passive item has two effects: chance to drop soul/black hearts when being hit, and chance to drop half red hearts when killing something.
Did you have it?

Ohhh ok, I had no idea Gimpy did that - I guess that means Serpent's Kiss wasn't doing a darn thing after all. Thanks guys!
