    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have been breeding normal Kenyans for a few years but haven't read a whole lot about genetics. I bought a proven anery female who mated with one of my normal or albino males. She produced 5 babies and 7 slugs. 2 are anery and the other 3 are normal. Does this mean that the male that bred her was het anery? Also does this make the normal babies 100%Het anery?

Thanks,

I cannot say this with 100% confidence in regards to Kenyans...

But Anery in regards to several other speceis is a recessive trait. This means it has to be present in the genetics of both parents to show out in offspring. Thus this would suggest that your male was het Anery.

When dealing with recessive traits, when one parent is het and the other is homo (homogenous, meaning it displays the color morph) then 100% of the offspring will be either het or homo. So your "nomrals" are actually het Anery.

I believe that since Anery is a proven recessive trait in several species, it would safely be assumed to be a recessive trait in Kenyan Sand Boas unless/until evidence suggests otherwise.
