What are you talking about? The light charcoal grey doesn't matter, darker or lighter sides don't matter, it doesn't even matter if it's a type 1 or 2. *laughs* The only thing that matters, in deciding if it's an anery, any anery, is the total lack of red-orange (erythrin) chromatophores.

That snake has that red-orange color, so it can't be an anery. It isn't anerythristic. An-erythristic means without erythrin or no red-orange color. This isn't boa specific, this isn't even reptile specific. It's true in Koi! Don't you wonder of red heads have erythrin replacing their melanin? LOL
