Your original post looked very much like you were asking if we thought you had an axanthic. That being the case, and the ensuing discussion really distracts from the question you want answered now. It would be perfectly reasonable for you to just start a new thread that focusses on just that question.
(I'd try to answer it for you now, but I really don't know so my guess wouldn't be helpful at all.)

Easy killer! Folks are just trying to steer you in the right direction around here, not beat you up. If anything, you're the only one really getting hot and bothered over whether or not the snake is actually an axanthic. Relax!!! :sweeet:
If you have a stunning axanthic & a not-so-stunning axanthic from compatible lineage, breeding the 2 together will probably give you a mix in the resulting offspring. You'll possibly end up with a some nicer animals, some average animals, and some that are not-as-nice-as-the-average-ones.
It's called selective breeding for a reason. ;)

It might also be interesting to see a double recessive axanthic resulting from non-compatible lineages (homozygous recessive for both VPI and Jolliff for example) ....This might really bring out sliverish or lack of yellow so much desired as well. No one will know until it is tired. And it would be hard to produce (and know you produced) such an animal
Collins, similiar questions have been discussed in other thread.....http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...omplementation

I love that black back in that group Adam, well, I suppose it's a silver back huh. ;) Dang that's a nice 'un.
