Well I believe the general concensus is that VPI line axanthics keep their color the best. Although there can be exceptional versions of the other lines that look just as good and keep their color, just as there can be poor examples of the VPI., I think in General VPI is more known for consistently for keeping its colors better into adulthood.
There is also the much more recent Black Axanthic also from VPI, which seems to stay more jet black rather than the greys and silvers of the normal axanthics, tho that project would require a far greater chunk of money if you wanted a visual.

I would have to agree and say VPI is the best line of axanthic

add fire, that helps a lot with the browning out.

I do have a male axanthic possible het genetic stripe currently available so depending where you are located we could discuss that, his dad is pictured in my pairing thread breeding a gstripe if you want to see how well he has held his colors

Agreed with post above if you want quality anxantic stock VPI would be the source to seek out. If you have any questions or want pictures shoot them an email. Their response time it's almost instantly and they always go out there way to assist you! I really like them and would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality snakes.

Yep. I chose VPI for the same reasons, and because more people want VPI and I want to have a good base of people to sell future hatchlings to. If you want a pure black and white snake, that's the reason in chasing axanthic fireflies in my first season ;)

I'm with everyone else, VPI line tend to stay more black and grey. However, with each morph there are good and bad examples! You may want to ask for pictures of the parents to guess about how yours will turn out in the future. I also second the notion of adding pastel or fire (or both!) into an axanthic combo. Those help the silvers and blacks stay that way and even get better over time!

SK Axanthics are the best IMO. VPI is just another line that everyone seems to have in their collections. They brown out just like all the other lines of Axanthic. Adding Fire does help with this.

I've had VPI and SK. Though the SK line is nice, they just don't compare to VPI as adults. This is one of our Pastel VPI girls. She is around 2000 grams.
