The obvious explanation in my opinion would be your male did have
the Anery gene you just didn't know.
This happens from time to time.
That is THE most likely scenario. Sometimes a gene will get propogated in multiple gens of "possible" het to the point people don't even list the remote possibility. Also, some possible hets are sold as normals etc. End result is random genes are out there in our somewhat concentrated gene pool.
Other more remote possibility is...
I remember someone (I think it was Ronne) posting that het Aneries can sometimes look Anery at birth and then red comes in with subsequent sheds but my feeble mind remembers the post as being a rare occurance, not a significant percentage of a litter.
