ANERY?? or just plain Black and White?

Hey Boa Lovers...A quick update followed with a question.

I posted a couple weeks ago about a premature birthing and what I should do about the huge yolk sacks that were still attached. I ended up cutting them free after 5 days since they were not moving around at all. I ended up losing 2, but the rest are doing great and most have already eaten their first meal. Thanks for the advice to those that posted replies.

Now the question.....

I keep looking at these guys trying to determine if they are Anery. They certainly look anery. Can I sell these as anery boas, or do I have to breed them and prove genetics first. Truth in advertising is always a concern. I will probaby have a picture up later today to help.

Thanks,

I wouldn't sell them as anery unless the genetics are proven, a lot of boas are born all grey and black and will usually get some color in the comming months. How about some pics, maybe I'm wrong.

here is a quick shot that I took a little while ago. See for yourself and tell me what you think.

thanks,

I can see red in the tail and a pink wash over the snakes body. Even though they don't have a lot of reds, my geuss is that the boas that look like that will gain alot of color over the next few sheds, and end up with some deep red tails,

Hey guys....thanks for the input. After these boas have shed and eaten a meal or two.....I too have come to the conclusion that these are not anery. They are however very grey. I took them to a show yesterday in KC and had lost of others comment on how grey they were compared to the norm. Thanks again to those that posted responses.
