>>a picture doesnt prove anything, but a picture with some data, and the word of the collecter will have to suffice. That last part, about the "word", is sooo important.

Well, funnily enough, Ric’s first "9-mile" Anery snake is displayed in Merker’s book as being a “Sanderson” animal! lol. That was where I learned about them before I bought the trio I had. I bought them because they looked like this, though I think most people here have seen these photos (repeatedly):





And here’s the older sister sibling from Merker’s book:



The book-editing process usually weeds out easily-proven falsehoods (and I’m sure several alterna historians proofed that book before it went to press), but obviously some escape through the radar.

So, maybe people should call them “generics”, “generic Sandersons”, or “Sandersons” since 9-mile can’t be confirmed/agreed on. LOL. Man, this is silly. And I don’t really care either way.
