Updated Pics of Anery Radix

Wow that is one killer snake!

PS cut your fingernails....unless you play the guitar...

Um, I'm a chick. I can have nails. I know it's not the most flattering pic with my old lady hands, and no false, perfectly polished nails, but I wasn't going for "hand model" I was going for AWESOME snake.

It was my left hand. Trying to hit chords with nails, unless you're a lefty, sucks with nails, so were I still currently playing, that hand would have been nubbins, not nails.

No hard feelings, though.

stunning! looks like it may have axanthic in there ..?

Possible, but as far as I know, it's just anery.

Stephi,

Is that snake really that color blue? Cause I think I would have to make a sharp left turn on the way down to Virginia one of these times....

1. Yes, it is that color blue. Not as stunning in artificial light, but yes, super blue in daylight.

and

B. You don't have to make that turn. I've already threatened a road trip!

Stephi,

You and yours are quite welcome here anytime you decide to venture north. Especially with snakes!

We would love to have you some time, if you don't mind cramped quarters!

I might have to pm you on the anery radix. I need to see if my future son-in-law was serious about adopting one. They truly are a beautiful snake and I know how Steve just gushes about those radix!!!

Hey, I gush too. Not just about anery's and not just about concinnus. Amy is my first radix and she's absolutely wonderful! Love her to pieces!

XD that's too funny. Don't you feel stupid now Nate? Tee Hee.

No, please, go ahead and insult so I won't feel so alone. And I wasn't even trying!

OK, OK, I'm sorry. Off topic. Love the anery's, love the blue. Still think that radix is axanthic though.

C-Man,

You are right. Amy is an awesome looking snake. Can't wait to see her full grown!

[ConcinusMan]

OK then, stay tuned. I figure at the rate she's growing it should be about sometime next week.

[BUSHSNAKE]

its melanistic

[ConcinusMan]

Not exactly. Anyway, I did some checking and it does fit the anery plains description. Cool. We both have blue anery garters

[BUSHSNAKE]

yes it is melanistic, how could it be anerythristic?

Scott Felzer's Garter Snakes, specializing in aberrant garters

It is easy to confuse anery, melanistic, and axanthic plains garters. They do look similar but the genes have different effects when it comes to breeding. Generally, melanistic snakes don't have the blue color. Now THIS is melanistic:



Axanthic:


Anery:


Anery concinnus:


Note the blue on the anery's and axanthic. The degree of bluing varies. Melanstic snakes don't have the blue!
