I thought the same thing.

Selective breeding my friend!!!:gj:

Perhaps selective breeding or the addition of another morph... Desert spiders seem to have very clean backgrounds...

I think Fire would be one of the snakes that could help. I'm also interested in adding a Fire type clean up snake to this combo because it does not brown out but gets brighter with age. One of the reasons I haven't got into the axanthic is that it browns out sooo much when it gets older.

I agree, the desert does the same thing as a fire - lightens and then continues to lighten with age. Hopefully the price for deserts will becme more reasonable soon so I can grab one. :D

The one thing I wonder about with the fire balls is that the super fire does seem to have a variable number of yellow splotches that pop up. I wonder if the yellow splotching on them would cancel the axanthic effect or clean it up? Adding fire might be the most interesting way to go, you could see if the fire mutation could clean up the dark background on the axanthics or maybe axanthic would work to clear up the yellow splotches on the super fires?
