Hey everybody...

i have a question. Can it be that anery hognoses hatch with a little bit brown on it which changes in grey/white/black with every shed or is it only a real anery if it hatch in black/white/grey without brown.

Thank you from germany!

I bought an axanthic male hatchling last year that had actually quite a lot of brown in him. Mainly on his head. After several sheds, the brown is now completely gone and he's a beautiful black and silvery gray So yes, hatchlings can be axanthic/anerythristic and still have brown which might disappear as mine did. Some adults could also gain brown as they mature too as also seen in some axanthic BP's.
