I suggest you keep them all if you can. Having extra males on hand has proven to be the difference between success and failure with insular Epicrates species. Not always but it has been my experience with Rainbows. I haven't bred any insulars yet though. BTW, anerythrism is usually a recessive trait, not co-dom. That means it'll take two genertions to get what you are hoping to prove out. Co -dominance is where the trait shows up immediately in the next generation.
In my opinion, if you have all of these angulifer, you should keep them and breed them as there could always be a few more of them out there. They are a highly underappreciated species...perhaps you can help get some public interest stirred up with this new morph if it proves out....if so, you may be kicking yourself for selling the other normal animals.
But perhaps Jay w. will chime in and add his 2 cents to this.
If you have the opportunity, I'd love to see pics of your anery and the normals too.
Good luck!
