I must state that everything Axanthic in my collection is VPI line. I am an axanthic fruit, and will post what I have right now, as well as what I am expecting this year.
I currently have:
2.3 Pinstripe Het Axanthics
1.0 Enchi Het Axanthic
0.1 Spider Het Axanthic
0.1 Lesser Het Axanthic
1.1 Double Het Axanthic/Hypo
0.2 Axanthic 66% Het Hypo (produced by us in the first True Ghost attempt)
1.4 adult Axanthics
0.4 adult Het Axanthics
2.2 Double Het Axanthic Pied

Shot at producing this year:
Pinstripe Axanthics
Enchi Axanthics
Axanthics
Mojave Het Axanthics
Pastel Het Axanthics
Spider Het Axanthics
Bumblebee Het Axanthics
Enchi Het Axanthics
Pinstripe Het Axanthics
Het Axanthics
True Ghosts (Axanthic / Hypo)
Hypo 66% Het Axanthic
Axanthic 66% Het Hypo

As you can see, I am ate up with this project. Now on to the pics.

First up is the recent pic I took this past weekend. On the top right is our original Axanthic male (now 6 years old). On the left is one of his daughters at 4 years old, and gravid in the pic (hopefully carrying a few Axanthic Pins). On the bottom right is obviously an Albino for color comparison.

This pic is a group that I believe I took in 2008. It includes a 2 year old, a 1 year old and a hatchling (the sizes are correct to the ages). I believe the biggest is the 2 year old, and also the same animal that is pictured gravid in the first photo.

This last photo, I think I took in 2006 and is a pile of babies with a Het sibling in the middle. Just a neat color comparison photo. The adult female in the top pic is the animal in the bottom right of this photo (same snake 4 years ago).

You are doing well..I have picked up another VPI Axanthic female..my current female has had a number of locks with a het male, not sure if she will go his season but I have decided next season to put a bumblebee & a lemon blast to my females & eventually try for killer spinner blast axanthics..will be going for dhet axanthic pieds once I build up on females..love the axanthic combos..good luck :gj:

Has anyone produced an axanthic superblast yet? That's one that I really want to ssee, especially a busy pattern if at all possible...

I'm glad this threads been posted :D

Opinions on this girl would be greatly appreciated, I have been asked several times if she's an Axanthic and someone did say she looks like a browned out Axanthic.

I honestly hope she isn't an Axanthic though she's got jet black eyes as well.

Thanks Bruce. I just put a 9 egg clutch in the bator last night from Pin Het x Het. Hopefully I have better luck with the Axanthic Pins this year. I do have Spider Hets and Pin Hets, and hopefully I can hit an Axanthic Pin girl and Bee Het boy this year, as I want to see the Axanthic Spinner Blast myself.

Good luck with Axanthic projects as well.
