Anery lav?

This snake was produced by a male lavender known to be het or homo anery and a female het. When it hatched, and for a long while after, it was an ugly mocha color. While many of the other lav's colored up well, this one remained quite drab. For a long while, I didn't really pay it much attention. The other day I noced that it looks quite a bit different then any of the other lav babies produced. It looks more like an older anerythristic lavender I have.

So what do you think? just a bit of an odd coloration, or anery lav?

The odd thing about Lavenders is that babies can apparently have a broad range of variability in how they appear, but as adults this all seems to smooth out and the differences are nowhere near as apparent as they were as babies. Either that or the differences are more subtle then my eyes can see any longer.

As for the anery/lavenders, I get some that are substantially different from the run of the mill Lavenders, but others that you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. Just par for the course with corn snakes, I guess......
 
I agree with Rich 100%.

I also produce one of those ugly “Mocha” things a few years ago and I know with 100% certainty that there is no Anery gene in that line. This Lav was so ugly that I called him “What the Hell”, because that is what I thought when I first saw him.

If I was you, I would hold onto this ugly Mocha, because my “What the Hell” today is the most stunning Lav that I have ever seen if you like pink on your Lavs. I believe that some Mocha looking Lav hatchlings look that way, because of some intense pink they are carrying. The pink makes the Lav coloration look brownish as a hatchling, but not as an adult. I am not talking about some back ground pink, I am talking about a flood of pink wash.

I have a couple of suspected Anery Lavs, and their coloration is more of a washed out grayish color with very little pink at all.
 
althoug i have only ever seen them on this site i dont think it looks much like an anery lav to me. thats just going on other pics though.
 
anery lavender

well I believe lavender is probably another form of anery anyway ,and I see alot of orange color in the background of that snake I have one that hatched with no orange and still dont have orange,the one I have is a plain grey snake nothing to get excited about :shrugs:
 
Yeah, the original lavender had a snow as a parent, so all lavenders are potentially het anery and amel. However, it's easy enough to test a lav against an anery to see if it's carrying that gene. If no anerys come out of a big clutch, I'd say it's safe to say that the snake isn't het/homo for anery. It's quite possible to have an entire stock of 'pure' lavenders that are not het for anery.

That is not exactly accurate. The original Lavender (Mocha) had a Snow as a grandparent, not as a parent.
