How can you tell the difference between An Anery and a Charcoal corn snake? Is there an easy way, Im not quite sure what I have (I do know the pattern is a motley hurricane, although I doubt that helps)

Pretty sure the Anery's can still have some yellow to them while the charcoal has neither a red or a yellow. Most of that stuff confuses me on the different phases. Someone else should be able to confirm or correct.

If you go to the website, there's pictures, too.

Anerythristic Type A or Black Albino
Anerythristics lack the red pigment erythrin. Also called an Anery for short.
A grey body with darker grey blotches outlined with a black band. Once mature Anery A's usually develop yellow on their chin and neck.


Anerythristic type B corn snake (aka Charcoal)
Similar in looks to the Anery 'A' but incompatable, sometimes lacking the yellow colouring.

Not really a good rule of thumb. I've had Charcoals with huge amounts of yellow and type "A" Anerythristics without even a little bit of yellow. Not sure of an accurate method to tell someone the difference, but after seeing a bunch of both, it gets easier to tell. For the most part. Then you go and throw other genes into the mix to really complicate things. Like Ashy, for instance....... :laugh:

The eyes. It's all about the eyes. Not the yellow. Ignore the yellow.

Like he said, it is all about their eyes, Irises to be exact. Someone said the eyes were silver. That is not entirely accurate. The irises of AneryA corns will be the same as the ground coloration. Charcoals almost seem to have nothing but pupils, their eyes appear to be almost black, especially from a little distance.

Like the other two said, forget the yellow, first of all, if you are judging hatchlings, they won't display very much yellow in either morph. I have seen some adult Charcoals that had more yellow than most AneryA corns.
