When I first came here. Why is it that hognose axanthics are lacking both red and yellow pigments? I ask because in other species of deli cup reptiles, axanthic means lacking yellow. Anerythristic means lacking red.
Is it simply because a Anerythristic has not been discovered in hognose? Or is there some "other" reason that hognose are protected against what occurs with other colubrid species. Thanks for any insight.
