SK baby Axanthics

I just bought 2 SK baby Axanthics and they look more brown and black rather than white and black, is this normal?

All the Axanthic hatchlings (SK, VPI) I have seen in person have always had a pretty dramatic contrast of black/white, that being said my knowledge of Axanthics is not vast.

Axanthic ball pythons, as hatchlings are silver, black and white. They are truly amazing to behold. Each hatchling is an individual and some will keep their color into adulthood while others will have slight color changes that will occur as they mature. Their final adult coloring is obtained when they are around two years old. Axanthic ball pythons are an essential ingredient for producing the snow ball python. We have only just begun to see the potential of the axanthic ball python.

TSK Axanthics almost look purple as hatchlings.

Did you buy those as visual axanthics? Look likes they would be HETS if anything, gotta prove them out.

I bought them as SK Axanthics. I asked him again and he is insisting they are.

Seems like to me, you got scammed. I could be wrong.

they could be axanthics i've seen the sk as adults and they are normal looking. the vpi and jolliff line axanthics are more grey in color than the sk line.

Except those are not adults. Unless they came from a reputable breeder, I'd say no.

on 2nd thought maybe they could be.
