Well.... showing us a pic of a BP that clearly is axanthic and saying "it looked kinda like this," really doesn't get you anywhere. We're just debating if snakes at petco would be axanthic... we already know what axanthics look like. :)
Not being rude- just constructive criticism. ;)

It wasn't to show you what an axanthic is. Im sure you all do if i do. It was just to show what it closely resembled in case its a common occurrance in balls, and that it could have been just a "pretty snake".

I saw this baby at a pet store several months ago... it came in with imports.... I had my camera with me, so I snapped a few pix.... (it was not for sale)...


I thought it was extremely light and faded.... but still different from an axanthic...

Looks like a WC ghost to me.. I'd would have snatched that crap up

I've seen bad lighting turn stuff funny colors. I'd ask to take the snake out of the encloser and take a look at it in sunlight. I've seen stuff turn green, purple, brown, yellow, grey, washed out, etc in different lighting. The bulbs look standard but light up different. Only way to find out is to take the snake into sunlight.

Snap a pic for us.

But yeah, even a nice looking normal is worth the $80.

It wasn't for sale... :oops:

Thats got to tell you something.. It really interesting thats for sure

yea, that's why I still have the pix... Oh well! :rolleyes:

I was mainly wondering if this was similar to what she saw at Petco....

well.... no. It was grey. like gunmetal greys. I mean, at this point i'm ready to accept that they mighta had the wrong sticker on the cages and that it was a different kinda snake. Tho im positive it was a ball.

BUT just yesterday they did have one baby that looks exactly like the one pictured above. I did happen to snap some pics. It wasnt as faded as the one in the picture above, but damn near close. I dont know if i can get it off my phone though.

of course, my friend has brought to my attention that rat snakes can be greyscale, and grow pretty large....
