    Kenyan Sand boa genetic question

    I'm about to purchase two Kenyan Sand Boas from this guy I know, and I do not know anything about their genetics lol

    It's a male and female Anery pair. He said they both came from normal dh snow female X normal dh snow male pairings.

    So, first...Are Anerys what's suppose to come from that? Is "snow" a different morph all together that produces Anerys? Is there any recessive genes I could use for decent breeding projects in the future?

    Other than that, DAMN I've wanted a pair of these for awhile and just never had the time or space, and now I do. I'm so excited and I'll post pics upon receiving them!!

    Thanks guys!

    Anerythristic and albino are seperate mutations. 'snow' is an individual that shows both of these mutations at the same time, a het snow will be a normal looking snake that is heterozygous for both anerythristic and albino. So, yes anerythristics are one of the possible morphs coming from that combination. Also, in addition to that, your anerythristics will each be 66% possible het for albino.

    Oh really? That's awesome! So if I bred the two Anery's, theres a decent chance i'll get an albino, huh? I did not know that, and you just made my day. Of course, I guess that's only if they are both het, though, right?

    I know they aren't quite what they used to be, as far as desirability in the pet trade, but I have always been (and still am) a huge Albino fan.

    well since the parents are both already anerythristic, you'd get a snow instead of an albino. IF both parents turn out to be het albinos.
