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.

Oddball rosy neo - what morph?
Wondering what might be up, genetically speaking, with this neonate rosy. Missing much of the expected orange tones, though it is light in color and eyes are light so not obviously axanthic or anery. Visually it looks like a line bred ghost.
Pairing was mother to son, so possible recessive gene in play.
Photos of the snake in question, and a littermate for comparison, both right after first shed.

Updated photo of this one as a yearling. Had another litter this season with a couple more like it, in odds that match up with a recessive gene.

Do you have any educated guesses at what's going on?

Looks anerythristic to me, just based on online photos.
There are anery Anzas -- some of these are supposedly of wild-caught origin (has been claimed to possibly be the result of someone letting a generic coastal anery loose in the Anza Borrego area), and I guess there was some known crossing of coastal anerys into Anzas.
But the ones I'm getting don't look like those, at all. Mine look more like Pioneertown anerys: light blue eyes and really washed out light color overall. Might be the same anery gene that's in P-town, and it just turned up here.
There are probably a few simple mutations that can cause anerythrism, and they might be common enough that if we do enough inbreeding we'll find them.
I will have more evidence when I breed this girl to a presumed het (maybe quicker if I get a visual male I can breed back to a presumed het female) to see what the offspring ratios are.

Here's one of the 2023s showing this coloration, and another shot of the 2022 that is posted in the first two posts of this thread. These are both taken with an iPhone set to standard color saturation (the photos in the first two posts of this thread were taken with a DSLR with the color balance mis-set; I should take some photos with a gray card).
I did also get to compare tongue color. Regular Anza Borregos (mine, anyway) have a black tongue with a red-brown tip. These have a black tongue with a lighter tip, apparently without the reddish cast.
