I'm also curious about the Hygrophilus and it's distinction from other RB's. Especially seeing the appearance of the neonate makes me wonder if the anery gene in the BRB lines is the result of integrading or crossing with Hygrophilus in the past. It may be the photo or my display but it even looks like the portions of that adult Hygrophilus's crescents, where they are not background colored, are white or possibly very light yellow. Interesting snakes on their own but does make me curious about the origins of the anery gene especially given the propensity at times for mis-identification of subspecies/locality with imports, especially in the past.
