In the upper photo is one of the 2013 hatchling Hurricane Anery Motleys and in the lower photo is her mother. This adult looked very much like her hatchling when she was this age, but it appears that the 2013 hatchling (and its siblings from this female) will have even thicker black blotch margins at maturity. Virtually all Anery mutants to date hatch with the colors seen in the upper image; black and white. As they mature, the white turns to gray, but the black seen in this adult is what the above hatchling will have at maturity. All hatchling Aneries do not exhibit the carotenoid yellow seen in this adult, but most will slowly and continually exhibit this yellow which they retain from the carotenes in their rodent diet.
