Bingo. I brought this issue up a few months ago.



I agree with Dave, the term is not being used accurately

for BRB's. I'm in no way saying anyone is/was being dishonest when using that description, but now that it's well known what these snakes look like when they get older (ie, brownish/red), I would hope that another term besides "anerythristic" will be used soon to describe these type of snakes. Are they genetically very interesting? Absolutely. Are they cool snakes? Sure. Are they rare? Of course. Are they "anerythristic." No, by definition they are not, and quite frankly, it could be misleading to a buyer. Anyway, that's my rant for the day.



Maybe we can all propose a new term for these snakes. "Hypoerythristic"? "Ontoerythristic"?



>>Ok well I know what anery means. It means a lack of the red pigment. Now in a snake like a rainbow that is a dark reddish brown I would expect a "TRUE" anery to be white and black and the yellow crecents to be seen but this is no what I see when I see "anerys". I end up seeing a less red but still red rainbow boa. Why is this???
