Here's a larger version of that shot... the snake is progeny from a line that has genes contributed by five different WC snakes... three that were caught in 1993, one from 1991, and one from 1997. I'll see if I can't find the pedigree tree for the snake, but it has no connection to Dave Doherty's lineage. All snakes in the pedigree were either collected by John, Barb, David Stricker, or myself, or produced from snakes we caught or bred. Whether it is a true anerythristic animal remains to be seen but all indications point in that direction as it has absolutely no orange and neither did the other sibling. One interesting point is that this and the other similar sibling marked the first time that our lineage produced animals with this busier phenotype. Up until that point it had only produced more typical animals.
