Red Axanthic?

Does anyone know if the red axanthic morph is real or not?
Thanks

Yes it is. As far as I know, Corey Woods produced the first genetic line of the red axanthic, and he is continuing his projects with them (along with a few other breeders).

Yeah, it was proven out this yearby Corey Woods. Red axanthics are the homozygous form. The hets are black backs. They are a co-dom mutation, like pastel/super pastel.

Thats screwed up. How do you get a red bp? That'd make one hell of an albino line though. Red bp's with a touch of yellow...... Can you imagine how awsome that'd be.

Red axanthics aren't really red, they just have a redish tint to them with obviously no yellow (hence the axanthic part). I don't know how that albino red axanthic would work. Maybe a snow bp tinted with red?? Hmmm.... possibilities are endless..

How much do you think that they can cost. It sound really intersting to have one, but I thinkthat it will going to be a really expensive snake wright???

Yeah, they definately wouldn'y come cheap. Off Ralph Davis Reptiles website, it lists prices for het (Black backed) red axanthics: "PRICE 03 het Red Axanthic males $ 5,000.00 each - 03 het Red Axanthic females $6,500.00 each - pairs for $10,000.00"

And those are just HET prices, lol.

:shock: waoo, that is just to much for my budget. I think i should just get me another bp and the after a few years I want to buy me a Brazilian red tail boa, and a GTP.

how do they decide on a price for a new morph?If i had something that was totally new and no one else had i think i would ask for way too little compared to some of these morph prices.

Most new morphs start somewhere around $25,000, and I believe that is about what Corey got for the one Red Axanthic he has sold. He sold one male to Ralph Davis, and as far as I know, this is the only Red Axanthic to be sold. He and Ralph have of course sold many black back hets, but it will probably be another year before someone else produces a Red Axanthic. I really like this morph. I think it has a TON of possibilities, and will be a very cool morph to combine into other morphs. I am hoping to buy a pair of hets this summer, but we will have to see how many clutches I get :wink:

I saw the red axanthic, it was not much special.... I'd prefer just a typical axanthic then the red.

SWWEEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!!!! I bought a black back het axanthic a couple a months ago for 750$. The breeder also told me that the axanthic father was black back so he thought it was genetic.AWESOME!!!

What breeder did you get him from? (If you don't mind me asking). :)

Can someone post a pic?

Of a red axanthic? Here ya go:

Oh, and I guess since they are a co-dom trait, the red axanthic is like the "super" axanthic (like the pastel and super pastel). Just throwing that out there, LOL- since we're on the subject.

that's a pretty bp.

That is one good looking BP

So does anyone no any ways to make sure about the red axanthic thing or is the blackback the only indication. Also, i was planning on working out a simple ressesive gene. Does anyone no how to get a homo. out of het. and a wt. Thanks

waowww!!!
those are some pretty snakes emroul. I would like to have one of those. Here I go again :roll: wanting everysnake i see LOL :D
Jesús

I'm broke with either addiction, good thang it ain't both :)

Actually, from what I've seen, the Red Axanthics look a lot more black and white as adults then the regular Axanthics do.

It's definitely a looker. I'd like to see pics of adults in the same lighting as regular axanthics to make comparisons, though.
