Woohoo! I got it!!! In yo face all of you that picked #4 (LOL, jk). ;) Robin you definitely live by your quote, even for the normals!

I knew i was going to be wrong!! Hey at least there wasn't a really cool prize at stake for the winner. Then id really be disappointed lol! By the way.. What WAS #1??

DARN. Theres alot of blushing there on that normal. Thats what really threw me off on that one. That, and the yellowish color to it. Could we get a 1-22 list of what they all are?

Ok, now can someone explain to me how you can tell that #4 is an axanthic and not a washed-out photograph?

Do axanthics have markers other than color?

Not really, I just knew. I have seen them before, and I thought it was obvious. I still don't know if it is an axanthic but that's what it looks like to me. Snake Keeper line axanthic's brown out to almost a normal colour, but there is a different hue? I dunno I guess you just have to see them to know. ~Caylan.S.~

PS- I chose #15 I think, so bummer for me, but man that's a nice normal! ~Catlan.S.~

Besides the color, it has an awful lot of white coming up the sides, much more than a normal would.

Axanthic means lacking yellow pigment. I don't know about you, but I can deffinately tell there is no yellow in that snake.

Not all SK axanthics look "normal" as adults. It depends what you breed them to. Also, there is some kind of sneeky hidden gene in there that makes Charcoal axanthics which look kind of like nice black bloods color-wise. What was number six?

That is right however in general, snake keeper axthanics brown out really well. I actually think it's a very pretty brown, not normal at all, but it is really subtle as an adult. I'm not sure, but I think that the VPI black axanthic is not even compatable with the snake keeper axanthic, I could be wrong though. Number 6 was an enchi I believe, if this noob know's his stuff. However I am not a noob really, just in posts on this forum. Hope this helps, ~Caylan.S.~

Not so fast there Rabby. Reese is not a "normal" until you breed him and prove him out to be a "normal".
