axanthic female

Axanthic is lack of Yellow.... Compare your 'axanthic' to a normal, they will look similar.

Axanthics dont gain yellow as they get older, but they do brown out. They change from being silver and black to a brownish hue of silver, like in the 8ball picture.

the pics are very similiar to 8 balls my axanthic doesnt look anything like my normals tho i dont see whats the difference the little bit of "yellow" around the neck the 8 balls axanthic has the same thing! in the bottom pics

I think if a reputable breeder sold you her as a axanthic and can proove she is a axanthic then there is no question. If not then your best bet is to get a male vpi axanthic or at least a 100% het and breed them and if you get axanthic babies then you have proven her a axanthic.Of course with a 100 % het male you could still get axanthics if she is a het. Only another axanthic bred to her will proove she is axanthic since you would only get axanthic babies.

What line? axanthics all have their own line where they are not compatible with each other.

VPI, TSK, and Joliff and recently a few wild caught lines, but AFAIK none are compatible with each other.

does anybody have a vpi axanthic male i can borrow for her? lol my plan was to breed my albino to her for 100%het for snows

Prove the line. :gj:

And for reference here is a picture from the other axanthic thread in here right now, its in Eds post. Its a comparison between a normal and the axanthic and you can definitely notice the lack of yellow.

ill try and get pics with a real camera i can tell up close and personal mine looks the same there goes snows and now to prove the line

well your snow project only delayed a year or 2 until can prove out axanthic. I tell you now if you got an axanthic really cheap you got lucky. I also ask the person you got her from if there was any paper work for her that proves she axanthic in writting.

I love that all your snakes are names after pornstars. Gianna Michaels is my fav.
