I've seen longicauda advertised as "het for anery". I've never seen a longicauda that has any red or orange coloration. What coloration does a boa have to have to be considered anerythistic?
Thanks

There are slight differences but they are visible...in between an anery and a het anery take a look at Brads post, has a pic of a het anery and an anery.
Anery generally means a lack of red pigment.

Anerythristic longicauda a born with no red. The tail looks lavender. Non-anerys have red in the tail, which gradually turns to black over the three years they mature. Here are two 05 male siblings. The non-anery still has a little red in his tail which the anery does not. Also, the anery's have less overall brown to them.
