    Opinions please!
    I have the opportunity to acquire either 1.1 100% het albinos or 1.1 100% het axanthics for nearly the same price. I love both, but I'm leaning towards the axanthics. What does everyone think?

    Totally up to you and depends on what YOU like. What morphs are appealing to you and what are your long term goals? I assume you're thinking about breeding in the future since you're looking at pairs of hets, but what morphs do you want to work with? Is there a specific snake that you know you'll never be able to afford but want to try to produce?

    I personally love albinos, and they are always popular...a classic :D

    But go with what you want! Axanthics have some pretty cool combos and would rock if you get a good quality pair to make good babies! It's up to what morph YOU like and want to make!

    Honestly, I'm dying for both, lol. I agree the albinos are always popular and classic, but the axanthics are just so stunning. *sigh* Decisions, decisions!

    I voted Axanthic, but it really depends upon what you want more. If you are looking to breed, which if your getting a pair, I'm guessing that is your goal. There are a lot of Albinos out there, not so many Axanthics. What line of Axanthic is it your looking at ? Some are better than others. There is a market for both. Weigh your options.:snake:

    i voted axanthic(love the sk line)
    hhhmmm wonder what u could come up with combining the two.

    Axanthics start out looking amazing, as they age the majority of them end up looking normal-ish. Don't get me wrong I have seen some stunning adults, rarely. Albinos always look great IMO.

    As stated above get what you want as a base morphs and for combo potential. I don't think I would ever want a cinnamon just because of the single gene. I NEED one because of everything else they do in combos such as cinny albino, cinny ghost, super cinnies...the list goes on.

    Re: Opinions please!
    I voted Albino cause its still one of the most sought after morphs hands down. Noooow I love Axanthic's ask the breeder to show you lineage first off then the parents of the hets if you decide Axanthic. Follow the link below you'll see my girl with a normal you'll also see Tim Baileys hott axanthics there also.

    Okay, the decision's been made. We'll be welcoming 1.1 100% Het Axanthics to our home this Friday! :D

    Re: Opinions please!
    I voted before reading the end of the post where you already made your decision. Either choice of the 2 would be good. :gj: Congrats. :banana:
