Ok, im pretty sure i know the answer to this one, but what the hey, ill give it a shot....i have 6 hatchlings, that all could easily pass as anery to the average joe, but if the light is right, there is a slight brown tint to the saddles. Their eyes are all grey, like an anery...could they be considered anerys, or no? I figured probably not, since anery lack all color pigments but black and white, right? Anyways, figured id ask and see what the jury thinks.
 
No, aneries often times do have brown pigmentation in their saddles. It's just that it is usually a little difficult to see in small aneries. They usually develop yellow on their chins and necks too, so it's not right that they don't have any pigments than black and white on them.
 
hmmmmm...excellent point about the yellow, slipped my mind...and thanks for the info....if they arent anerys anyways, there still gorgeous, extremely light background, a couple almost white.
 
Can you post a picture? It would be easier for everyone to help out if we could all see the snakes in question.
 
Well, I could post a pic, and Ill try, but Im having some trouble with the digital cam, which means i have to go the old fashion route, but like I said, the light has to be just right, and its just a slight degree of brown....ill do what i can to get a pic on here though, thanks
 
Just to give you an idea as to how light and/or brown an aneryth can be, here is a pic of one of my favorite aneryths...her name is Kiss and she's almost 2 yrs old in this pic (Feb '03).
 
Sometimes...

you can only know the difference by doing breeding trials (unless you know the genetic background of your snake).

Here's a picture of my anery. She is more gray than Susan's, but she is still very light.

Aside from knowing the genetic background of the snake pictured above, I know what she looked like at hatching...her saddles were as black as the ace of spades! She didn't start getting lighter until about her 3rd shed, and kept getting lighter with each shed until she was about 6-8 months old.

All the ghosts I've hatched are light at hatching.
