    Opinions please!

    I have the opportunity to acquire either 1.1 100% het albinos or 1.1 100% het axanthics for nearly the same price. I love both, but I'm leaning towards the axanthics. What does everyone think?

    In Loving Memory: 1.0 Pastel Zeus, 0.1 het Albino Anya

    I'm a girl, I have snakes, I have tattoos, and I have piercings.

    The more I talk to humans, the more I prefer my snakes.

    Totally up to you and depends on what YOU like. What morphs are appealing to you and what are your long term goals? I assume you're thinking about breeding in the future since you're looking at pairs of hets, but what morphs do you want to work with? Is there a specific snake that you know you'll never be able to afford but want to try to produce?

    I personally love albinos, and they are always popular...a classic

    But go with what you want! Axanthics have some pretty cool combos and would rock if you get a good quality pair to make good babies! It's up to what morph YOU like and want to make!

    Honestly, I'm dying for both, lol. I agree the albinos are always popular and classic, but the axanthics are just so stunning. *sigh* Decisions, decisions!

    I voted Axanthic, but it really depends upon what you want more. If you are looking to breed, which if your getting a pair, I'm guessing that is your goal. There are a lot of Albinos out there, not so many Axanthics. What line of Axanthic is it your looking at ? Some are better than others. There is a market for both. Weigh your options.

    Axanthics start out looking amazing, as they age the majority of them end up looking normal-ish. Don't get me wrong I have seen some stunning adults, rarely. Albinos always look great IMO.

    As stated above get what you want as a base morphs and for combo potential. I don't think I would ever want a cinnamon just because of the single gene. I NEED one because of everything else they do in combos such as cinny albino, cinny ghost, super cinnies...the list goes on.
