Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi i have a 100% male Anery mated to a Normal female what are the young going to be at what percent % Het for anery. Any help for the beginner would be appreicated and a nice web page to look at to see the % of Mating.Thank again have a great day Tina

A male anery coupled with a normal, results in hets.

Reptilecalculator.com works pretty good for figuring out most pairings.

Welcome to the forum!

First off, the term Anery/Anerythristic is actually incorrect, the correct term for this morph is Axanthic.

Second, I believe you are referring to the male as being 100% het Axanthic and not an actual visual Axanthic. If this is correct, then breeding a 100% het to a Normal will generally result in half of the clutch being het and the other half being Normal, the problem is, you cannot tell the hets from the non-hets, therefore, you'd have 50% hets.

The term 50% basically refers to the chance you have of actually picking out the hets from the non-hets from the clutch and proving them out, but then again, the 50% ratio is merely a statistical probability, there could actually be more or less hets from any particular clutch depending on random chance.

Isn't axanthic lacking red and yellow, which is what the op said. I do imagine its easier to say axanthic.

Thank you

Hey Frank, the OP actually said "100% het anery", which is incorrect. Anerythristic is not even a real word as far as I can figure. In fact, I only see the word when referring to reptiles and no other life form. I can very well be wrong and just not looking in the correct places.

The word anerythristic derives from the word erythristic which specifically means "more than normal red pigmentation". These red pigments are usually not produced by xanthophores. The erythrophores would be affected which are not responsible for yellow pigment cells.

Axanthism is the lack yellow and red pigments that are produced by xanthophores.

Hi Gregg. If I remember correctly, I said, if the op meant an axanthic like you, I have no idea what a 100% het is, only that it means, axanthic.

I have a question, well I have lots of questions. So what do you call a hog lacking all red but exhibits yellow? That occurs with corns, so why is it impossible with hogs????

The problem I see is, the world of hogs is understand on a very limited base. Axanthic is like that, One maybe two individual hogs founded that base. Which is not a good base to define your terms with.

So what would a black and yellow hog be? hahahahahahahaha

Sorry been gone, not hogging but helping a friend with Crots. Best wishes
