As many have seen with the ball pythons, there is nothing typical about reptile genetics. There are things happening with snakes, that seem to go against genetics as most know it. up until a few years ago, there was no known dominant albino, but a dominant t positive albino ball python is well established now.. From what I have witnessed, reptiles can really throw a wrench into genetics. There are lots of traits out there that are not typical and don't follow the typical genetic rule book. Just because there hasn't been a proven dominant anery, doesn't mean one cant or wont pop up.
As far as the partial anery blairs, that's a good question. maybe it's due to the fact that the majority of this lines offspring have been alterna, or intermediate phase and its just odds at work. But I wouldn't call the first pic of mine an alterna phase. It's more of an intermediate. There would be plenty of orange on it if it wasn't washed out. I would consider our other one an alterna phase though.
