>>BTW, your so-called "anerythristic" Desert king is actually an axanthic morph. They do not have any red pigment(erythrin) in their natural color scheme whatsoever. However, they certainly do involve yellow pigment(xanthin)in their natural color scheme. No yellow = "a-xanthic". Xanthos being the Greek word meaning yellow.
Hey Doug, are black-and-white florida kings axanthic or anerythristic? Clearly we've seen lots of juveniles with conspicuous evidence of erythrins (red pigment).
