This 2010 male Strawberry Anery is now 28″ long and eating frozen/thawed hopper or small adult mice.
Strawberry is the dominantly-inherited mutation that is believed to be responsible for the deepened pinks and corals seen in many compound morphs toDAY (most notably in the Coral Snow Types). Strawberry is an allele to the Hypo A chromosomal locus. Of course this male is also homozygous for the Anery A mutation, so he exhibits the classically grey/silver/white iris common in Anery A corns, but the heightened flesh tones in his markings and ground color zones is mainly owing to the Strawberry mutation.
