This pic don't show it that well, but this eastern that a friend gave me today has a nice green tint to it's blotches.
He works for a pest control company and removed it from a basement.

It looks like the red has been removed from the burgandy banding almost like an anerythristic.
Keep it, Breed it, Prove it, Name it!!!!

The pic doesn't show the green well if it is green.

Jeff where you at man? Don't you have some pics you could add to this "green" eastern milk thread.

They do look greener in person but comparison shots work best.

Yep,nice comparison shots.Have you bred any of the greenish ones yet?

The offspring all looked "normal" which makes me believe its recessive.

Alternative scenario... maybe the parents were normal? LOL. KK

Did you breed green to green,or green to normal(not green)?

....when has any eastern milk not been red as a hatchling?

The eastern milk babies I've had weren't red... More brown than anything...

And he said it must be recessive because the babies were normal colored... Not green.

Many L.t.triangulum are born with brown blotches/saddles. In fact, in many northern locales red hatchlings are uncommon.

Walt, this one I found with Carl a few years back. Unfortunately it didnt survive long as they are real difficult to get going. I have never found a female "green", only 2 males. I would not consider the GREEN morph a true "anery" but this one sure was--including the purple tones familiar with your Anery Celanops. Tell me what you think, I apologize for the pics clarity.

well that is obviously a convincing pic....i was only saying easterns are always most red as hatchlings;how red they are is of course relative and is highly variable...imo,both of those in the pic show some red-understood it's hard to judge from the pic-and i would guess i would call it 'hypoerythristic'...so yeah that ultimately being proven as a recessive trait would not shock me.
