I'm just wondering if anybody has some more info on this morph, it's some kind of albinism but where RED is the overall color of the animal.
Does it exist in reptiles? Beside red and white, can other colors like black be part of it? etc.
Thanks...

Erytherism, by definition, would be an increase in red pigment, but wouldn't affect any of the other pigments, so there could still be plenty of black on the animal. Two examples that come to mind are blaze phase Goini kings and flame garter snakes. Not your most common morph, though.

Erythristic animals exhibit more red, a better name would be Hypererythristic a true erythristic would either be red only or some of the other pigment would be missing.
