    Not axanthic.. Look into blush albino.. It's another line of albino. I'm willing to bet that is what they are., blush albinos produce visual hets that hatch looking like axanthics but they will brown out in a few months and look totally normal. The albino will also brighten up and get more contrast and look like a regular albino.

    So be sure to keep the grey looking ones marked separate so you can tell them apart when they get their normal color. Those grey ones are the ones carrying the albino gene. The other ones probably are not.

    Of course, the only way to be 100% sure that you have blush albinos is to keep those grey ones and the albino and breed them back to the parents. Then you will know for sure.

    That is awesome tho. They are one of the only recessive genes that hatches a visual het. At least visual as babies. So keep them and prove that's what you have

    If they show no sign of color change as they age then there is always the possibility of axanthic but I'd guess blush albino first by the way that albino looks all pale and creamy.

    Keep in mind, I believe the visual het thing was proven to be possible only when a het blush is bred to a het blush.. I'm pretty sure both snakes have to have the blush gene to produce the visual het.

    I produced an albino like that last year, 2-3 sheds and it looked like a normal albino baby, sadly this albino did not make it. She stopped eating at about 4 months of age and then shortly died later. I did albino x albino pairing.

    Well then good. Now just grow him up. If they are blush hets, you'll know soon enough

    Edit.. Proven blush hets sell for a little more than twice what regular het albinos sell for right now. Markus Jayne reptiles has a proven line. So keep those and prove them.

    A lot of people sell low percentage poss het axanthics without mentioning that they might carry axanthic. Since a lot of people go for Snows, there are probably a lot of albino hets carrying axanthic, and a lot of axanthic hets carrying albino.

    So, while it might be a blush albino, it may also be a straight-up axanthic (well, axanthic poss het albino). If so, then both of your hets carry the axanthic gene, and you might get snows if you repeat the pairing. Hatching a Snow would certainly prove what you have there.

    That looks like a snow to me... If you have to wait past 400 grams on the silver babies to turn brown but they still don't look like a normal, they gotta be Axanthic. Black light the albino.
