We got this as a "stray" from the shelter. It is about a foot long, but was a bit smaller when we got it a month or two ago.

Any ideas?

That is an anerythristic. Anery for short.
Anerythrism removes red pigment making them grey to black with some white. Anerys can have some yellow on their necks and sides.
Looks like it had a nice meal.
nice shelter find

That pic was immedately after a feeding. I think the spots look brown, going to black near the edges.

And to the post above - yes, a very nice shelter find. Our price - $10 adoption fee!

Somebody found it in their apartment complex. Maybe the owner just assumed the worst, but the shelter holds on to strays for a few days before putting them up for adoption. Never assume - always check the shelters just in case.

that is an anerythristic. which means it lacks the red color, it will develop yellow to some degree. they are commonly refered to as aneries or anery. that is a very pretty one with a nice clean white background

And here is another:

One more pic - this is blurry, but shows part of the underside:

Did I actually type that? I hate people that say America when they mean USA. Now I hate myself, and can't edit my post.

I'm in the USA.
