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.

What makes a rosy anery?
I was wondering what the criteria were for a rosy to be considered anery and whether this is a simple recessive trait or a phenotype achieved through selective breeding. All of the anerys I've seen display faint orange tones in the stripes which would seem to indicate to me that they are not truly anerytheristic. A true anery should also produce white snows when combined with the albino trait.

anery's
Alice, just as in boa constrictor morphs, the anery gene when coupled with the albino gene do not produce snow white animals. Anerthyerism still has yellow pigment present which can be seen in the resulting brown tones of the anery borrego rosies and big boas. To produce a pure white snow you need an axanthic gene. This was was accomplished by Chad Dorton a few years back. Chad produced axanthic rosy boas from a pair of normal appearing Morongo Valley rosys many years back. below are some examples from my collection illustrating the significant differences.

The "snow white" snow resulting from this axanthic to a WW albino
Clearly it's the axanthic gene that is responsible for making what in my opinion is a true "snow" rosy boa.

I love that white snow! I was making the mistake of equating axanthic with anerythristic. Since the morongo strain axanthic produces white snows, wouldn't it be both axanthic and anerythristic (is there a separate term used when these traits co-occur)? Are there any characteristic of a borrego anery that would distinguish it from an animal without a lot of color?

The Borrego anery has dark, almost black, eyes without brighter colors in it and a dark, fairly blue overall appearance when compared to a norm. I don't have any good photos, but if you look in this forum's posts from last year(9/9/05 & earlier) there are a bunch of pics posted by PCH(aka James Wilson). His website also has some good info & pic on it so check that site out too.
