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.
