Ah! Wasn't sure what the heck to search! I was never actually gonna use it, I just expressed it by describing the pic. But it'll come I'm handy...

This one comes in handy in forums too. (click) Let me google that for you

Oh crap. Off topic again. I'm really liking Jeff's answers about the anery subject though. Sounds like we're getting closer to the truth and that is it's not black and white. It's not just this or that.

What the heck was that? you just googled for me... Weird.

I hear exactly what you're saying. I call those special concinnus' I find "anerythristic" (since they do lack red/orange pigment) but it seems to me like if they are truly anery, there should be no pigment at all where the orange would be, but that's not the case. The pigment is there, it just isn't red/orange and often, (not always) it's replaced by blue pigment. So it's a little more complicated than just simply taking away red pigment.

I still think "anerythristic" applies. It simply describes a normally red snake, that lacks red pigment. Obviously, there can be different "types" of anery.

Whatever you call it, I like. Also I love the blue coloration like Smoke and Molly have, but the Silver was nice too.

Anerythrism

Red pigmentation is not synthesized by xanthophores. Yellow pigmentation in the xanthophores is still present. Additionally, yellow pigments in the form of carotenoids are still retained in the xanthophores. This accumulates with age and may be a major contributing factor in the overall appearance of some animals. Typically, anerythristic reptiles appear as black and white animals, with varying amounts of yellow present.

In order for something to be anerythristic it has to be red or have red.
The anery plains and the anery red sided and the melanistic eastern are the same morph and here is why:
If they were anery when that trait meets an albino you are not seeing the removal of red...you are seeing the albino taking away the BLACK...that is what you see happening with the iowa and nebraska snow. Redsided snow and Shuett snow.
