So I just finished reading a thread in which Troy from Rextiles stated that an axanthic lacked yellow pigment, while an anery would be lacking red (or, at least that's how I interpreted it).

So, here's random question.

I have a western I bought a few years back as a "normal". She has no orange or red on her anywhere. Just yellow, back and a brownish color, but not the rich brown I see on most normals. She's very washed out looking compared to normal hogs, almost grayed out, but not in an axanthic sense.

Her belly displays only yellow and black. The spots on her scales where there would be an orange are just a washed out pale brown.

Could she actually be an anery? Or lacking entirely of the red pigmentation? I will post pictures as soon as I can, of her with my other normal snakes.
