is it Anerythristic(lacking red pigment)

Do you guys think it might be anerythristic, the flash made him look more orange then he is. The color on his tail is more his true color.

You must mean "hypo-ERYTHRISTIC", which would be the reduction of red pigmentation(erythrin), not complete lack of red which is anerythrism.

Anyway, that specimen is pretty light, but they tend to naturally have a lot of variation in their coloration. In my opinion, I don't really think that snake is hypo-E.

Very nice though, that is a FACT!

Mike have you ever had one that color? And did it turn darker with age.
Thanks Bob
