Not new to Thams, but new here!

You must forgive me for being so naive. I really don't know what you mean by "het" other than heterosexual. I also had never heard of a "anery" T.s. concinnus until this thread. I know what you mean by "anery" I had just never known that there was such a thing for T.s. concinnnus. I tend to think that this "anery" is nothing more than a T. sirtalis with a pattern similar to concinnus. That's not so unusual. I've seen T. sirtalis in my area with a similar spotted pattern on the sides but habitat and habits distinguished these individuals from concinnus even though they often share the same habitat.

I have never seen an anerythristic T.s. concinnus in the wild and I've seen thousands of concinnus in the wild, over the years. Not even a melanistic or any other atypical one other than being very faint in color overall, and perhaps the oddball or two with distinct atypical latteral stripes or nearly all black with barely any orange spots, but I had chocked that up to intergrades with T. sirtalis. How are we sure that this "anery" is really concinnus? Someone enlighten me.

Maybe it's because the phenotype appears to be concinnus and because the prevalent DNA genotype on the west coast is concinnus (http://www.faculty.virginia.edu/brod...0ME%202002.pdf)
I don't think it can be debated that this is an anery concinnus - http://www.schlangenauge.ch/concinus.pdf ...
One of our European members has one (father of my concinnus)


Definately concinnus ... definately anery

Hypo-, maybe. But not an-. Or did you mean the one in the necropsy?

The one in the necropsy for sure ... Hans' comes close though ... would that be Hypo-anerystic? ... or shall we call it a low-red ... or 'green phase' lol ... too confusing, I know. But it definately is a red-diminishing trait

Hypoerythristic. Hypo- is reduced, an- is lacking.
