That's alright John, I'm not OK either1 I hope I didn't sound like I was mad? It's hard to judge emotion in written words. You just had me scratching my head, wondering if you were serious or just kidding? I have a tendancy to skim over things too. It's a result of having too much I want to do and not enough time to do it. Later bro...

LOL....It was purely an oversight on my part......OOPS!

And you are definitely correct....It is impossible to express any type of feeling or emotion when typing a post or reading someone else's post........

I didn't think you were mad at all Jorge.......Sorry for any confusion.....LOL

Misinterpretation has been the root cause for many a spat here on the forum........

Some have been blatantly abusive though....but others are like Frank and you just have to read between the lines and listen to what his overall thought is without reading what he types exactly......

Love that Anry, what a cool looking snake. That part where its supposed to be red, does that retain the same color into adulthood? And also what morph is the other one. Never seen one of those.

Hey Ross..

This is the father of the Anery in my last post... The other animal is a Hypo Alterna...

Mike,

Great stuff as always. Your anerys have always been on my wish list. That hypo is spectacular also.

Mike,
What is the light one next to the anery? Did you combine any other ecessive traits to get that?

Sorry i am not that up on which reccessive traits there are in the alterna group. Except for the anery. i saw an adult at the Tampa show around 1995.

Not trying to butt in here but to answer your question Rainer....

The Black Gap Locale has produced Anery, Hypo and Leucistics.
Mike also has produced a Ghost with his Anery and Hypo genes....

Chris Baubel has produced at least 4 Leucistics that I know of.....Maybe more......

Black Gap Locale has produced Anery, Hypo and Ghost's. Not Lucy's though... Chris' lucys are generic as far as i know..

>>Black Gap Locale has produced Anery, Hypo and Ghost's. Not Lucy's though... Chris' lucys are generic as far as i know..

You may be right, but I am definitely wrong......
Here is a quote from his website.....
Apparently they are Val Verde County but no more locale than that.....I would call that generic in the Alterna world.....

The original stock came from Val Verde County, Texas. Some specimens are over 75% orange. This bloodline also produced the first Leucistic Grey-bands in 2007.

Those things are amazing! Will you be producing any Alterna this year that look like that? I've seen some of your other posts and your Grey bands are always super nice.
