Thats a resessive gene called Anerythristic or Axanthic. Both names are the reduction of the xanthaphores that produce the red and yellow pigments. Anerythristic is primarily used to describe the reduction of red in color and Axanthic is primarily used to describe the reduction of yellow in color. So beings the color the snake is missing the most is red it'd be considered Anerythristic.

Where did you come across it? I wasn't aware of Anery longnoses out there, or did you catch it? If you cought it than it could be quite a nice even profitable find. Research how the recessive genes work and breed it. Good luck.
