It may help to understand what an anerythristic is? without any info from the person that produced it,assuming it is captive born,the best bet is to refer to it as "possible","probable",or,simply "unproven" anerythristic,if in fact,it lacks any erythristic pigment. hope this helps...

i work with anerys a good bit and i have found that they exhibit certain traits. 1. no red pigment 2. they usually have a grey to silverish to grey background color 3. no brown. brown comes from red. 4. the eyes are greyish sometime whitish in color. these are just a few "traits" that i have seen. dont get me wrong, there are boas out there that look anery but are not. it takes some knowledge to distinguish between the yes and the not. just my 2 pennys....
