What sort of info would you like?
The 'het Caramel' part will only come into play if you ever breed, otherwise its visually the same as and other Anery. |

how big a meal and how frequently to feed depends on the snake's age/size.
anerys lack the red pigment erythrin, there are various types of anerythristic corns, type A is the traditional black albino, type B is lighter coloured, sometimes lacking the yellow pigment xanthin, and type C is Cinder which is more burgundy coloured.
'het caramel' means there's a caramel somewhere back in his parentage and that he carries the gene for that colour but doesn't express it visually. |

| 45cm ~ 18" so probably a few months old. What has he been feeding on? |
