What would you make of this anery?

Here's an odd looking anery :

He came from Kim and Marc Bell, in 2000 (I beleive). At first, he was just like any other anery corn, nice little fading blotches, but nothig spectacular.
His blotches have picked up some kind of pinkish-bronze metallic color. Hard to show on picture, but the close ups give you an idea. Does anybody have anything similar?

thanks, JF
 
If it came from the Bell's I'd assume they're right and it's an anery that has lightened up quite a bit, but dang if I didn't think that was a ghost when I first looked at the pics without reading your information! There is the possibility that it was a ghost that looked darker as a hatchling as well.

I've seen more anerys that look like that than anerys that don't. I wish they'd stay like the black and gray hatchlings, but with some exceptions they seem to want to be those colors. ;)
 
Pewter?

I've read Pewter (BloodRed and Anery-B) will have thier blotches slowly turn to the ground color.
I think the Pewters look pretty cool myself.

If you're asking if that's a pewter---no, definitely not.

In my case, it's really the first time I see one with that color. I've seen them turn brownish, or just fading, but the color really is coppery or pink, a bit of an iced look. Thanks for answering.

More and more anerys and ghosts seem to be showing the high intensity peachy/pink color. I'm personally selectively breeding for this (Sorry Serp...as I've said before, I like the color!) Here is a pic of my fav ghost and anery mot/stripe, both have that color I see in your anery. And if you ever want to get rid of him, let me know! He's stunning!
 
Susan: Yep, that's looks more like the coloration I'm talking about. Natural light brings it out much better and yours is WAY more intense than the one I have... you mentioned it was a ghost, I believe mine is just an anery so it would make sense if it's the same kind of coloration, mine would be more "masked" with black. And he actually is for sale, but I'm in Canada, so it's a bit complicated.

As far as it being a pewter, I'll have to agree with serp as well, Pewter never crossed my mind. However, if this coloration is reproducible, I can surely imagine that this coloration combined to hypomel and bloodred would be a killer.

Here's a photo of a sibling ghost (the difference was obvious as babies, that's why I concluded the other one was just anery). I had bought that snake for a friend at the MARS show in Baltimore, that pic was taken a year later, just before he sold it to god knows who. :(

Thank you all for replying. JF
 
Have you done any breeding trials on him yet?

At first I would say anery, because as its been said before, more and more anerys are getting the peachy colors instead of the black/silver contrast we're used to seeing. Very possible that he is a ghost also, just a dark one with a little less hypomelanism at work than say his siblings. Throw him in with a hypo and you'll figure it out pretty quick :)

He is very stunning though. In saying that... Susan you have enough! How 'bout ya share the wealth here!! :)

One is a ghost, but the other is an anery (proven this year), so that color DOES show itself in both. I would say yours is a definate anery, probably het ghost since there is a ghost sibling. Too bad you're in Canada, and I'm also currently out of money!

I can NEVER have enough! I'm a major addict, remember? But I will have to pass on this one...for now...so you had better grab him quickly before I change my mind or find more money!
 
I'm positive it's an anery as well,even if it is a bit light. I have many other anerys and regulars that have less black than usual, and sometimes look hypo. In this snake's case, sure it could be tested to see if it's hypo, but it wasn't really my goal. What I was interested in finding out was if that peach/pink/bronze or whatever color you wanna name, was common and test bred for "color isolation". Can we use with something else? Is it specific to anerys? Recessive, fluke or multi genetic? Now that I see someone else has some, I believe it's worth trying to figure it out and actually being able to say it's not recessive, I have tested it.

Susan, you say you selectively breed for this color, did you start with a single animal or a pair?
