Cornsnake question

[Riyeko]

Okay, im a noob to the herp industry and cornsnakes in general.
But ive loved the cornsnake for over a year, and more specifically the Anery cornsnake.

Now, from what I understand, Anerythristic is the absence of all red pigment in the snakes scales, through selective breeding.

That said, how in the world do you get a blood red anery cornsnake, when blood red means red colored, and anerythristic is the absence of red pigment in the scales??

Anery is not through selective breeding, it is a recessive mutation. But bloodred was created through selective breeding. I know its confusing to mix the two, seeing as you are basically kind of going backwards lol.

But look up a granite/pewter corn snake.

Granite=Anery x Bloodred

Pewter=Charcoal x Bloodred

Stephen - any/all breeds/morphs unless naturally found populations, are created through selective breeding, regardless ( actually especially ) if it is a recessive mutation, by definition.

So you are trying to tell me the albino ball python was made through selective breeding? Yea right dude.

There is a difference between a morph and something that has been selectively bred for a certain trait.

Let me rephrase.

Of course you have to breed anery to anery to get anery.

But there is a difference in breed normal corns with dark black patterns to each other to produce okeetees. Get it?
