    Re: "Anery" Concinnus Arrived!

    Is it theoretically possible to find out which cells dominate? I mean, if I took a scale off of the orange area of a normal from that location and took it to a lab, would they be able to determine which type of cell produces the orange? Not that I could afford it, just curious. Most, if not all of the orange concinnus in that area have a yellow stripe. Most if not all of these anery's have a blueish stripe. Coincidence? Hmm...

    I'm leaning toward orange xanthosphores being the culprit in this case and in the case of that other anery I showed you, with a yellow stripe, red xanthospores are involved making that one anery, these axanthic, on a cellular level. That is assuming that genes can affect xanthosphores in a way that selectively removes red/orange and leaves yellow. This is so confusing.

    Seems that axanthic and anerythristic can be one in the same so which term is used depends on the overall effect. If red is taken away from a normally red snake, anerthristic is used. If yellow is taken away, it's axanthic. But this involves orange so....???

    Just when you think you understand...
