Anery Morph

Hey guys, I could use your help with a little confusion. I’m a novice when it comes to boa constrictor morphs, and I could use a little help.

Could someone describe the Anery morph as it appears in BCI’s? Particularly what its characteristics are, and what makes it different from a normal morph?
I know normal’s generally start out fairly grey, but grow more brown as they age. Do anery’s retain a lot more grey?

If anyone has any pictures of confirmed adult anery’s, that would be awesome!

Thanks!

anerys some time retain the grey but the main feature so to speak is the tail its more of a grey when born no red at all if theres red in the tail then its not an anery and as it gets older it turns more black correct me if im wrong

Anery (Anerythristic) itself refers to a lack of a pigment called Erythrin. Erythrin is responsable for the lighter red/pink/salmon shades that Boas (aswell as other animals) produce. So the difference between a normal/classic Boa and an Anery boa is the Anery has a lack of light coloured pigment so should look overall darker and more contrasting.

Although saying that there are quite a few common Boas that are pretty dark and show little in the way of light coloured pigment. The difference then offcourse is the Anery is able to pass along an Anery allele to it's offspring which depending on the second parent might help create other mutations :)
