Is he really an Axanthic?

What do you think? I have been looking at Ax's and Googling til my eyes hurt, and he really matches up with the description; no yellow or orange coloration like a normal BP; silverish black and white hue; etc. I have been hesitant to post re: this because I don't want to seem like a newbie who thinks their snake from Petco is a Spider/Albino/het for Leucy :)
Here's a few pics of him next to my normal female..

I am just looking for your honest opinions here.

I would say super light normal. Very pretty though!

Definitely not an axanthic.

Here's a picture of an axanthic with a normal for reference. Axanthics have a grey/silver coloration.

It'll be here before you know it ... I remember not too long ago when I was taking group shots of my black backs, reduced patterns, high golds, and grinning from ear to ear ... they were my "morphs" at the time and to me they were the coolest snakes in the world. Fast foward a few short years later and I'm like a kid in a candy store every day I come to work. ;)

And that's what keeps me cleaning snake crap week after week! Its exciting stuff! :)

I whant to be a wanna be!!! :'(

I got a few shots of axanthics from a few breeders who would be considered trustworthy. I personally see no difference between this same and theirs; if anything, mine has less yellow than theirs. So why can they call theirs Axes and I can't? See, the one on the right top and bottom left are practically orange compared to my specimen. And the one on the top left could be a dead ringer.

Axanthics blow me away. The only way I can even tell them apart is when they are babies. As to say, "I don't know". Sorry. Lol

to me the axanthics are a morph you have to see in person and you have to photograph really accurately to see. i think the main 2 lines of axanthics are vpi and snake keeper. most of the "more silver ones" i've seen seen from the vpi line. babies are awesome and you can really tell who's who. adults can vary some in looks. i'm not real knowledgable in this morph, just sharing my thoughts.



vaughn

the only whay you can be realy jure is to breed it to a het ax or to breed it and see the babies and prove them out

Here's where he came from. My friend has a pet store and therefore, a lot of idiots abandon their pets with her. This was sort of the case; this girl who knew her was pist at her ex for leaving her, and was selling off his herps; he also had a few lizards. He was already adult sized when I bought him; so it's anyone's guess where he came from!

He looks awsome Axanthic or not, just breed him and try to prove him out. Thats what im doing with my so called "axanthic" Good Luck:rockon:

Wow Aric, that is an awesome looking snake. By looks I would say it is an axanthic, but what do I know, I'm still pretty much a newb!:P

:confuzd:


I just....

Don't...

When in doubt
Prove it out! :)
