Yeah, but those corn's genes are a bit different than these "anery's" in my opinion. If these Hondo's were true authentic anery's, they would be solid black/gray and white, just like anery alterna, Black Ratsnake's, flavirufa, and a few other mik ssp. like the anery gentilis, etc...



Now don't get me wrong, they can and do display varying amounts of pink pigmentation from individual to individual. And the amount of melanin each animal has will also play a huge factor as to what it looks like to the human eye as well.



When you see some of the snow Hondos displaying very distinct rings of strong pink in every set of triads as you look down the snake, it certainly ain't blood tissue you are looking at. Know what I mean?



Anyway, lot's of other milk "guru's" see it like this too, including Shannon Brown, Terry Dunham, Rusty Green, and so on. The name stigma itself that has been labeled to these is the toughest thing to get past, as they have always been called this since the early 90's. But I and many others have wondered about it since that time too..LOL!, and then when the snows come along years later it just really reinforced it for me.



I still call them anery's though, after all, who the heck needs even MORE confusion with the names in the hobby?, and certainly I am not just referring to Hondo's..LOL!
