Anxanthic Pastel Spider

Anyone ever made one? Any pics? I think they would be amazing. Or has anyone ever made an anxanthic spider, or a desert ghost spider? Just wondering.

Niiiiiiiiice.

they even have the killer bee anxathic

Those are very nice, but I'd like them better if there was some way to remove the dirty wash from the background pattern. I wonder what you could add to the mix to reduce that???

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by dirty wash.:confused:

Do you just mean the speckling of darker scales? If so do you like these better?

Or was it those you were refering to - sorry I'm a bit muzzy this evening. :oops:

Those do look much better, but still not perfect. Dirty wash was a term that used to be used a lot with corn snake morphs where there is a lot of melanin left on the snake making it looks like someone threw a bucket of dirty water over the top of it giving it a somewhat dingy look. It refers to the dark spots and general darker background color. The axanthic spider still looks nice, but I was just wondering what could be added to the mix to clean up the background a bit. With corns we'd just work some brighter colored normals into the mix or even the hypomelanistic gene if you didn't mind losing most of the black.

With the axanthic spiders, I don't think you'd want to lose the black banding, but it would be nice to lighten up the background color and hopefully lose the spotting. Since you have so many other mutations to choose from with the ball pythons, maybe the addition of a fire ball, or a specter ball, or a vanilla ball or something along those lines would do the trick. Or maybe just a normal with nice banding and a clean pattern would do it.

It's a nice looking animal, but I was just wondering where the next level of improvement would come from.

This is my DREAM snake fo sure.! just it will take a while to make...

Mark, when you make that lucy with a spider pattern looking snake, send me a picture! That will be awesome!

will fire help? Technically it will brighter the animal so it'll lighten out the darker spot. Not sure I understand you correctly or not though.
