    Solid black eyes

    As with all Anerythristic red sideds, (I'm assuming) mine has solid black eyes. Big be-yew-ti-ful shiny black eyes.

    I love it.

    Wondering though, is there any other species/morphs that have solid black (or other color) eyes?

    Re: Solid black eyes

    When I had Squirt her iris was almost completely black. There was an extremely faint dark borwn in her eye that you could only see when the light hit it right. Her eyes were light as a baby, but at a year old they were almost black. It was kind of cool.

    Ah, melanistics. Of course. Forgot that one. Anery and melanistic are so similar if not the same. Of course mels have black eyes. Thanks!

    Just looked when you said that... nope. Like the photo above, it's pinker/lighter, but it's there.

    Albinos/snows lack melanin in their tongues as well, so no black.

    Yeah.. I see 'em. Yours don't have the red. But mine does. Which is weird because doesn't it lack because of the excessive melanin? plus they're related..
