>>I just don't think anyone knows all about this, and may never quite frankly(shrug).
I think this is the real take-home message. These guys are *called* anery in both species -- and we know that they have the "anery" gene from their breeding. But perhaps there are other genes that modify the effects of the "anery" gene, or perhaps the pink pigment isn't truly erythrin, or perhaps something else we haven't thought of yet. I personally think, given the wide range of phenotypes, that it is probably a multigenic phenomenon. Whatever it turns out to be, though, it sure does make for some pretty snakes!
And btw -- in case you hadn't noticed, I especially love these pink snows. The champagne and coral snow pics I posted are my own animals, and I have two other coral snows beside that one. And as you may remember, I have two nicely pink snow hondos as well. I'm very fond of pink snakes!
