Old Axanthics?

The axanthic morph is really awesome as a baby, but I hear that they brown out as adults. Can anyone post pics of their adult axanthics?

Here is a pic of my 2006 Joliff Axanthic Male

Thanks for posting those. They aren't as brown as I thought they would be. Maybe someone will post a VPI axanthic. Then we can see all the different lines.

I'll try to get on that this evening. We have a 1900 gram female that has some nice sized follicles, and I'll see if I can get a pic of her, and her dad.

wow! somebody should make a poll on which is the best axanthic line! vpi, tsk, nerd or joliff... beautiful snakes by the way.

I believe VPI is generally considered the best, at least in terms of not browning out as much.

As these pictures show, and from what I've seen when I've seen a couple adult axanthics in person, they don't stay as silvery as when they are hatchlings, but they are still obviously not normal bps. I love them!

To me, what makes the prettiest axanthic is when they have a really bright white line between the grey & the black. None of the pics on this thread so far have a great example of that.

Also, the axanthics make some lovely looking designer morphs, which I believe would brown out less, although I guess I don't really know about that. Does anyone know for sure?

These 2 threads (really was one thread that got double-posted and went in different directions) have some links to nice pics and a video.

but you are right, they never look as good as the day they hatch...

Thanks for the Pics! I'm actually really excited at how good they still look. For some reason I was under the impression that they would brown out and look almost normal...lol obviously not!

Stick with VPI line and you won't be disappointed.

OMG Axanthics are SO HOT
what line is this girlie? (I'm lucky just to be able to pick out the morph at all, I'm definitely not able to figure out the lines yet!) I don't even think she looks much more "browned out" than the babies. In other words. I WANT! haha

yeah that was my guess just from the praise given to VPIs

I know it took awhile, and I apologize for that, but here is a pic of 2 2006 VPI Axanthics. The smaller one is a male, and the larger is a female. I wanted to put dad in the pic (he is an '04 animal), but he was deep in shed.
