>>Hey John,

>>

>>I really don't care if we call them anery, hypo-E, or axanthic....LOL.....the important thing is that they are SPECIAL and NOT the other high-black crossover multicincta that we see in various populations.

>>

>>As for the areas lacking red -- if there were no encroachment of black over time, these would be very anerythristic in appearance. The remaining color is a lavender/purple. What are your thoughts on that hatchling shot I posted?? That doesnt look red to me...(?)....and thanks for the appropriate delivery buddy.....glad we can have a normal conversation.





I agree with you 100% that they are SPECIAL and that they are different than the High-Black crossover Multi's we see in the hobby and in the wild......



My point is this.....And it is merely my observation and opinion.

If a snake is truly anerythristic the "red" would be absent totally and replaced with the absence of color = WHITE. Exactly like the Anery Alterna Mike Russo and others have. I think if there is some degree of erythrin (IE: purple/lavender/salmon/pink) then the snake is Hypoerythristic.



Then there is the argument about pattern encroachment or loss. This doesn't always exemplify a genetic morph.....



I have thayeri from Bob Applegate lineage that have no black borders around their saddles....this does not make them Hypomelanistic nor Amelanistic...The black they do have is PURE black.....I/We call them "NO Black" Thayeri.....Much like the Candy Cane Knoblochi and the Applegate Special Pyro.......I can even go out on a limb and say that even Hypo Brooksi/Floridana are something different than hypomelanistic because the black they do have is black....Not a reduction in pigment but a reduction in pattern. Hypo cornsnakes are not hypomelanistic either......They merely have reduced to no black pattern......



LOL......Enough of my rant.....



I REALLY would love to see all that you hatch this season....I am interested in the unseen Pyromelana morphs and all these Zonata that I have yet to own......



I really appreciate the looks of that hatchling Sierra.....
