has there been a Anerythristic, lacking red, western hognose? what what did it, or would it look like?

In other species, there are anery's, lacking red, and axanthics lacking yellow.

I understand, the "normal" western hog lacks both, red and yellow.

You explained to me a while back that Western Axanthics can brown out as they age and many do have brown, which cannot occur if a snake is missing both red and yellow. The individuals that brown out, are either anerys or axanthics, but not both. From what I have seen, most likely they are anerys.

There is reason for my curiosity. I have what appears to be an anery kennerlyi. I found it in the exact spot where a few days earlier we found a hatchling axanthic(possibly same clutch) I picked it up thinking it may be axanthic, but it has tiny bit of yellow on its lips and belly. But no brown to be found anywhere. Its now 240grams and its simply not normal. How would I prove this out. By breeding it to a true axanthic would not help would it? Any ideas? It also has a weird belly pattern. The belly pattern is normal, other then being narrow and only on the middle third of the ventrals.
