VPI Axanthic Spiders!

I've wanted to produce an Axanthic Spider since 2004 before the first one was even hatched. I knew this was going to be an amazing combo and I have been waiting for the day to hatch my own... This season was my first shot at it, so here it goes...

I bred a Spider het VPI Axanthic to a Het Axanthic female earlier this year and only got 3 eggs... They hatched on the same day as the Spider x Clown clutch I posted recently. I hit 0.1 Axanthic and 1.1 Spider possible Het Axanthic... Not bad odds for 3 eggs, but no Axanthic Spider :(

Pic was taken before the second spider came out...

I had another clutch of 6 eggs due a couple of weeks later from the same Spider het Axanthic X Visual Axanthic female. Well, they've hatched and I couldn't be more happy!

I ended up with 1.0 Het Axanthic, 0.1 Spider het Axanthic, 0.1 Axanthic and 1.2 Axanthic Spider! :banana:

Here they are!

I can't stop staring at these little guys! Hope you all like looking at them as much as I do!

Axanthics are so cool, every time I see them I have to remind myself that it's not a black and white picture haha.

Awesome clutches!

Very cool, Steve..

Can I have it?

Now when you say can you have it, you mean "the het male" right? :D

My snakes are your snakes, just come over and grab whatever you'd like! ;)

Congrats, they're very nice!!!

gratulation, very nice axanthic spiders! I'd wish they keep the look they have right now :-(

I think axanthics are underrated even as adults, I'll post some pics of my adult females. No brown!

This is the female that produced the clutch with the axanthic spiders above. This was what she looked like last year (3.5 years and about 2200g). She hasn't changed color since then either. I'm not saying that she looks the same as she did as a hatchling, just that some axanthics don't brown out as adults...

Congrats Steve....They look amazing

Man, what a great clutch!!! Can't complain about those odds, or those beautiful babies! I am such a fan of axanthics, and I get excited every time I see them. Congratulations!!! :) And mom looks great, too!

Did I read right, though, that you had a female lay 2 clutches this year? Maybe I read the post wrong.
