Possible Aneries?

[KephrenJorgensen]

So I have 4 ordinoides babies left, and with the mother being melanistic, I assumed that the babies were as well. Now Im having second thoughts. 2 are displaying some form of actual colour other than black and grey, the colors being a reddish brown and a pale tangerine colour, but the other two just have no colour at all, yet they show pattern. I dont know the bloodline of these babies, all I know is that the mother is exhibiting the melanism, and is definitely het for melanism. Is it possible that any of the babies are aneryrithristic? I will be posting more pictures of the 4 babes on Tuesday, Dec 5.

Does anyone know what anerythristic mean?
NO YOUR ORDINOIDES IS NOT ANERYTHRISTIC
In order for something to lack something it has to have it first.
If every ordinoides was red then they could be anerythristic but they are not.

Okay, thank you. Just to clarify, I wasnt stating that they were anery, I was just asking of the possibilities. And considering the amount of erythrism displayed in nearly every ordinoides in my locality that is not melanistic, I would think one could see the confusion. I am definitely intrigued to watch these squiggles grow, so far only one has shed at all since their first shed after birth. They are expanding somehow though, and so cute. I am currently keeping them at my school in hopes of sparking the interest of the younger students. Pictures should be ready later on today or tomorrow.

Anerythrism

Red pigmentation is not synthesized by xanthophores. Yellow pigmentation in the xanthophores is still present. Additionally, yellow pigments in the form of carotenoids are still retained in the xanthophores. This accumulates with age and may be a major contributing factor in the overall appearance of some animals. Typically, anerythristic reptiles appear as black and white animals, with varying amounts of yellow present.

Gotta be careful with the black and white statement cuz it doesnt always apply. Melanistic easterns are black and white and so is Steves black and white radix.
