erythristic?

[ConcinusMan]

Don't listen to infernalis, that ery flame is mine. Yeah, mine. (just kidding, and dreaming)

I don't think even Scott could have predicted how much that one was going to color up as it aged, She was a rather bland looking baby.

Thanks for the compliment.

[ConcinusMan]

I just wish that somebody would get a line of amelanistic concinnus going!

That would look sweet!

Someone would have to find an "original specimen" first, Then chances are
Scott Felzer would wind up with it.

[ConcinusMan]

You're probably right. I brought this up before and somebody told me there was an albino concinnus once somewhere but I can't find a pic. They said it was lavender where the black should be. Now combine that with ery and that would be awesome.

[infernalis]

I never heard of an erythristic concinnus before, If you crossed an Eastern with a concinnus that would be a very bad thing to do.

Thamnophis hybridization is largely frowned upon.

[ConcinusMan]

erythristic: a condition marked by exceptional prevalence of red pigmentation.

I meant that definition and indeed there are plenty that fit it. (I've never seen them in the wild but have in the hobby) I meant an albino with one of those blood red (and red headed) concinnus.

I think the term Erythristic gets thrown around way to much!

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, I know what you mean. A flame eastern already has more red/orange than a normal eastern but if it's extremely red and more of it, I suppose it could be considered ery. A concinnus already has red/orange too so I guess the term could apply there too if it is very dark blood red since the majority of them are orange. Note the definition. It's not necessarily a gene like with albinos. The definition says "exceptional" presence of red, meaning, more than most.

even more confusing is that people use the term to describe snakes that normally have yellow on them, but it don't. If that's true, than I guess a "snow" can actually be an anerythristic (lacking normal red or yellow, or orange like my avatar) amelanistic.

You could drive yourself insane with this! Just consider a erythristic as a snake with more red than most of it's kind, an anerythristic wilth no red/orange or highly reduced red/orange from the norm and you'll be OK.

[BUSHSNAKE]

i think thats a bad statement, i dont consider a snake with more red to be always Erythristic, you can call it that, but i wouldnt
