Hello fellow hognose snake keepers. Is this Western a type of anerytheristic or just the darkest normal I’ve seen? I’ve never seen an adult anery so I can’t tell. There is a discernible amount of yellow on her belly, which shows in the pictures. I believe there is a type of anery in corn snakes that also has some yellow. I received her as an adult last year and have no background info. If she was wild caught, which I was assured she wasn’t, then she was probably caught in MN. I appreciate the help. Adam

Thanks for the input. I've seen pictures of anerys that don't appear to have yellow. I am looking for quality pictures of adult westerns that are proven anerys and also contain muted amounts of yellow on their belly side or quality pictures of normals that are this dark.

I'm not sure about the difference between xanthic, anerytheristic, melanistic, but am trying to be clear about the animals in my collection.

I appreciate the help,
Adam
