If a T- ball python that is not amelanistic ever turns up, it could be combined with an axanthic to make a truly black and white (and grey) snake.
Granted, it's also not the best picture. I took one of the axanthic locks with my phone :) The others are with my camera, and have much better color. Even so, as a baby, he was a gorgeous grey and black, but he has gained some brown with age... thankfully the girl I am raising to breed with him next year still hasn't - hoping she'll retain some of the grey longer :) she was prettier as a baby

Still getting locks! :) Not so many any more, and I've got about 10 confirmed gravid females, if not more... Here's a picture of one laying inverted that is just way lumpy!!!
