Mike's Garters

awesome, you need to keep and raise them all to see how they turn out, it seems the "blue anery" ones start with some red and then lose it over time.

I suspected it, but wasn't 100%.

Oh, i was pretty sure. Of course, we don't know who the father is, but from what I've heard, there is one person in NW Oregon that has bred these anerys and it was anery X anery. Pretty much got the same results you did. I have a feeling that some of those babies will end up looking like mom eventually.

Still thinking this is polymorphism. You wouldn't believe the variety found in that population. Perfectly "normal" to hypoerythristic, to anery without blue, to very blue anery, to anything in between. Thinking polymorphism, with the anery trait having variable expression.

I think so too. Never seen a fully anery or blue anery baby but I've seen results like this in litters. Who knows how they turn out when they mature.

...and because its a natural varient the term anerythristic should never be used to describe itlol

....and because its not black with a light patern hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Fine, blue phase

Alright Joe. Whatever you're smoking, pass it over. You know darn well why we call it anerythristic.

Fine,blue phase I've just been calling them anery because everyone else has. I don't know, lol

No. That won't work either. Not all of the concinnus' lacking red/orange have blue anywhere on them. Furthermore, plenty of "normals" with normal red/orange do have blue.

We are calling them anery for lack of anything better to call them.

Anerythrism is defined as the absence of the pigment erythrin, which is mainly the reds and also the yellow pigments. These snakes not only lack the usual orange or red, but also never have any yellow in their stripes. Just turquoise, blue, or white.
