The sad truth is that a BONAFIDE brand new gene (not just something that looks slightly different) in a ball python would bring $50,000 or more. I look at it and think, "Sheesh, it's JUST a ball python!". But in a corn snake, the same gene would be struggling to get $1,000 for it. Because most people would look at it and think "Sheesh, it's JUST a corn snake!".
Go figure..... :shrugs:

hehe---don't you americans complain for a second about new morphs costing a lot over there...we have to wait an extra couple of years for them over here AND pay even more than you 
Rich,
When I want to photograph bellies, I put the snake on my glass coffee table and put a box over the top and then put the camera underneath the table an snap pointing upwards. You don't have to worry about the snake going anywhere because the bowl/box over it makes it feel confined so it just sits still and you can snap away.

Yeah. If I saw one of these out in the wild, I would be a bit confused about what they really are. I guess there is always a possibility that the guy from the Florida Keys was lying to me, but if so, what was it a hybrid with that just happened to be carrying a (tentatively) new gene in it? Further, if any of you have ever worked with some of the Upper Keys Corns, you would have noticed that they are a bit different from the run of the mill corn snake anyway.

nice lookin snake!
well I hope it is something new Rich!I know you are really busy but if you get a chance can you post some of the results that you got from your goldust breedings that you did last year? i would love to see them,as far as that goes I would love to see anything different that you might post (lol) its been awhile, and I have been checking on here periodically to see if you have made any posts cause man they just encourage me to breed more stuff! :cheers: :shrugs:

Hello, been hovering around the forum for a while, this is a new account. anyways....
I have a question or a thought: These animals have a lot of red, more than a typical anery, but less than a normal of course. Wouldn't this animal work as a hypoerythristic as opposed to anerythristic (meaning no red). I realize that these terms aren't used as concrete definitions of the animal, I'm just kind of interested in word meanings and origins.
Anyhow, great looking snakes Rich.

Well I certainly can't argue with your logic! But honestly, if and when I prove pretty much conclusively that this is a new gene, then I will try to come up with a more generic sounding name anyway. Something that most people in the world will be able to pronounce without apologizing beforehand for their attempt....

Very true. I can spell anerythristic never claimed to be much good at saying it.
I guess I was also interested in the possibility of a non-melanistic hypo. You guys have come a long way from the original red albinos and black albinos, and I'm certain that the cornsnake genetic variation wall is not in sight yet.
Back on topic: Well till your tests prove out we'll all have to wait and see what more tangles will be woven into the mix.

Here's a photo of the original Upper Keys female that the "C" Anerythristics came from.
I bred her with the two "C" anery males I have. Fortunately they both appear to be fertile studs, as all of the females I bred with them this year have produced viable eggs. Actually this is rather lucky, as I don't have real good luck with first year breeder males.

Hi, I'm rather confused about how an anery can have red saddles. I'm a noob to the genetics side of things, TBH I've only read serpwidgets website guide, but I'm pretty sure that the prefix AN = lack of, and that ERYTHRISTIC = ERYTHRIN. So no red pigment is produced.
I can't understand why there would be an exception, can someone set me straight? :shrugs:

Hey Rich,
Any update on your test breedings? Sorry if this info is posted somewhere else. If it is can someone post a link?
Thanks,
~Jeff C.

Yeah, I guess an answer here would be appropriate.
I bred two adult male 'C' Anerythristics to several Charcoal Ghost and Silver Queen Ghost females this year. In all occasions, the hatchlings turned out to be either normal or Hypomelanistic. No exceptions. I think this is pretty strong evidence that the type 'C' Anerythristic is truly a new gene and not compatible with type 'A' Anerythrism nor Charcoal.
Attached is a photo of some 'C' Anerythristics that hatched this season.
