Genesis 1:1

Axanery would be a double homozygot.

The two traits in kings and other snakes have a very different appearance and it has nothing to do with the original phenoptype being red , yellow or orange.

It has to do with 2 different types of recessive traits that look dissimilar. The anery having more yellow pigment present and a chalky background. And the axanthic makes for almost a bluish color to the dark markings. Almost like the opposite or a amelanistic.

I have seen the opposites mislabled (an anery to a axanthic and a axanthic called an anery) but it really doesn't amount to a hill of beans except for hobbiest to be able to distinuish between different recessive traits. If you don't know or care then Axanery will work for the ill inforemed. Otherwise, for a a true anery x axanthic double hom...AXANERY sounds like a good name rather than saying "axanthic x anery double homozygot" every time.

I don't know about all that....

Anery tricolors and alterna are not bluish.

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

"Axanery would be a double homozygot"

and,.....if your sentences were typed out in complete English, it would be a double homozygote with an "e" at the end.

And it does have everything to do with reds, yellows, and oranges, not the amount of speckling and other coloration a snake has, or doesn't have compared to another snake.

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"

So if I breed an axanthic Florida to a goini creating solid red goini males and then bred the babies back together you would call them anerys?

I thought I was clear on my post about the practical side of the breeders who work with different traits. I know that an anery as described in Bechtels book is mosly red and the axanthic a mostly yellow snake. And as you already know a Florida can hatch out very red , turn orange and then yellow as an adult. So the whole theory of the axanthic vs anery is not practical. At least not for anyone with some common sense. Dr. bechtel said the same things. that is why he even has a red triciolr pictured in his book as an axanthic and not an anery.

Also, if you don't like my typos just move along and skip my posts. Otherwise you will have to live with it. LOL!
