Help identify this corn!!!

[581775017]

Hi! I just got this corn not too long ago, I was told its a "black on black albino", so I think what they mean its an Anery type B... but somehow it doesn't look black to me now, its like a little tan on it, what you think??

 

[Roy Munson]

It's a pretty anery-A.

Looks like an anery corn to me; as they grow many often get brown like that.

But I don't see any yellow on neck?? Or the yellow come along later?

Thanks Ryan & Roy Munson.
But I think theres Anery A and B (charcoal), how do I know if its a A or B? or I'll have to wait till its grown up?

Yep, there's an anery B, and even an anery C (the new "Z" trait). In anery B/charcoals, the eyes are very dark, with little contrast between iris and pupil. They also have lower contrast between saddle and ground color than anery As. Charcoals usually do not turn brownish as many Anery As do.

So do they stay with the tan when they grown up or do they turn back to black or greyish?

So you can compare the difference between Anery A and Anery B

Here is a photo of my Anery B (Charcoal)

Once an AneryA goes brown, they're not going to go back to black. Most of them start out very high contrast black on silver as hatchlings. Some stay that way, but usually losing some contrast, and others (like yours) turn brownish. I'm attaching pics of an aneryA and a charcoal. The charcoal's actually a pewter (charcoal-diffused), but her diffusion is very poor, so I think she can serve as a decent example. You can see the contrast differences in the eyes and in the patterns. This aneryA happens to be one that never went very brown.

Will the yellow come out for sure? I don't really like YELLOW

:roflmao: I'm with you, my friend! But unfortunately, the vast majority of aneryAs (and a minority of charcoals) do develop yellow to varying degrees, especially on their necks and sides. Don't worry, someday you'll lie to yourself like I do, and say that it's not that bad. You may even praise it as a nice highlight to an otherwise drably colored snake.

I'll still pray for no YELLOW!!
And why do they change color (brown)??

Sorry for asking again, I just read your post again :crazy02: ..lost contrast, but why?

I sincerely hope your prayers are answered. There are a very few aneryAs out there with virtually no yellow. I'm really hoping that my anery-diffused (granite) hatchling doesn't develop any yellow either, but I have to be realistic-- he probably will. (Incidentally, he is a browner anery than yours.)

Most corns' colors change between hatching and maturity. When they hatch, their pigment has only begun to develop. You should check out Serpenco.com and compare some of the hatchling photos with adult photos for a bunch of color morphs. You'll see what I mean. You might also do a search here on the word "progression", and you'll see a lot of color changes too.

Blasphemy!!!!!!!!!!!! :grin01:
Yes, I'm the lone yellow lover here.
And just for comparison, here's a link to my Anery A over a 2 year span. :wavey:

You might also consider a human analogy when thinking of the pigmentation differences between very young corns and mature ones. I'm sure you know people who were almost "white-blond" as toddlers who ended up with brown hair as adolescents or adults. Same kind of thing. Luckily for corns, they don't lose their pigment as they get older (i.e. corns don't get old and gray).

:roflmao: You must be disappointed with Glyder's relative scarcity of yellow, Mike. I'd be happy with that anery too. Not so thrilled with my big ol' yellow-stained, muddy anery (but she's a sweetheart of a snake).

Yellow's cool on caramel and caramel-combos, and it's tolerable on blizzards and snows, but I'm not so thrilled with that color on anerys and ghosts. :shrugs:
