that is one of the best examples of axanthics older than 3 months I have seen. as far as your 2 cents... I was not claiming that the snake was not what they claimed, just that like all older axanthics I have seen (at least until yours) at least to me looks just like a nice light normal. I have an old reptiles magazine that has a picture of Dave and Tracy original axanthic that looked pretty hot but until your post haven't seen anything from that line that I consider interesting at all. silver and black snakes are super cool and maybe with another 10 years of selective breeding you can come up with axanthics that for me will be worth all the effort and investment required in a recessive project.
