Jorge,
I didn't say they were not allelic. I did that breeding 20 years ago.

What we are discussing are the correct terms used for anery and axanthic and what hobbiest use are different.

Tecnically an anery is mostly a red snalkes lacking yellow and red pigment. Since it is mostly a red snakes it lacks mostly red.

Also technically a mostly yellow snake lacking red and yellow pigment is called an axanthic.

But since we are hobbests and have to separate recessive traits that are not allelic we have to call them different. With the case in herpetoculture an axanthic is buish and with black eyes. And Anery is also dark but may ("might"show yellow or off creame tints. What I am saying this is how we call them to make thing easy in the hobby.

Also it was Dr. Bern Bechtel that said the terms anery and axanthic can be used interchangeably. He was referring to the original description of mostly yellow snake or mostly red snake. But since yellow to orange to red still change it does not amount to a hill of beans which we call what (..TEchincally speaking.

So, the terms we use for anery and axanthic are for our purposes (as breeders) to distinguish between the different traits since they are not allelic with each other.
