Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Coral Snow?
I have only been into boas for a few years but this is a new issue for me. I know there is a difference with the coral trait not being predictable like some other genetic traits.
I have a snow that was snow white as a baby. she has shown increasing red pigment as she grown, her scale tips are turning pink and well as her head. has anyone seen this before? It is really hard to photograph. Each shed she is getting more red. If anyone has seen this please hit me up. thanks in advance.

Hi John, if it has red on it, then it's very, very probably not a snow. A snow by definition has a lack of black and red. There is a slight possibility that it is a paradox, but that is extremely unlikely. If you could post pics, it might help us help you.

that is where I am confused about the anery gene. does it necessarily affect the coraling trait. she is 100 percent snow. I just fed her and I'll get pictures when she's ready. however it is hard to capture the pink splotches. thanks.

Anery = lacking red
Coral = "extra red"
Snows generally will turn yollow'ish with age, but if you're seeing red
then you may have a pale albino on your hands.
This thread is useless with out picture though.
I'm sure you'll have several answers/opinions
on her as soon as you post a few pictures.

Looks like a snow to me. Try to get a close up of this color change.

Looks like a typical Kahl Snow to me... Some close up shots of the red scales would be cool... Some dark / "ugly" aneries get darker and "brown'ish" with age. Maybe she's just a darker anery. Pictures of the sire and dam should answer the question as to why assuming one of them was in fact an anery.

it looks like a snow to me.
but if it's getting pink? I never heard of an anery with pink; tan/brownish anerys yes but no pinks or reds.
Do you have a baby pic? Did you get it from a reputable person?
I suppose there is a chance it's a really faded albino (my big kahl albino's saddles are white like that but she has some very faded pink/red in the tail; someone asked me if she was a snow once)

It could fall in line with the paradox anrys. I have a paradox that has a couple red scales on the tail and has shown a pink blush in a thumb sized area on his side once "I have yet to see it again.
He is considered paradox anry or as one has mentioned to me a near anry
So there is a very slight possibility he has some paradox or near anry thing going on!?

Thanks for all the feed back. I will see about getting pics tomorrow. I am letting her digest. On second thought i just checked her and she still has a good sized lump in her. It may be Wed.
