| Anerythrism is caused by a single recessive gene that removes the reds and oranges, leaving the blacks, browns and greys in the general body color of cornsnakes. The yellow along the side of the head, neck and part of the body may also remain. Anerythristic A (also known as anery, anery A, black albino and black corn) is the most commonly found type of anerythrism. There are at least two other known types of anerythrism - anerythrism B (aka - charcoal) and anerythrism C (aka - anery Z, plus other name(s) yet to be determined). The jury is still out as to whether lavender is considered another type of anerythrism or not. Each of these types are caused by their own individual recessive gene and it is yet to be determined which look will over-ride what when more than one gene type is homozygous. Color variation in anery A cornsnakes can be dramatic, ranging from stark black saddles on a dark grey ground color to light, pink-hued browns which are virtually indistinguishable in appearance from ghosts. |
