"50% het snow" u wat?

[twothirteen]

Gotta VPI Axanthic Female at a show and she's "50% het snow", not sure what snow means in this scenario if anyone could expunge that'd be much appreciated

[Lord Sorril]

I would assume on a visible Axanthic that 50% Het Snow really means 50% Het for Albino. I would have definitely clarified with the breeder though.

I've seen people get real 'creative' on labeling/pricing their snakes at expos.

It is possibly het for albino so what it means is that with the right animal you may possibly produce a snow if it proves or not is it does not.

The best way to go about proving this out would be an Albino 100% Het Axanthic or even an Albino.

Good to hear. I just refreshed my ad on Craigslist and my ads in kingsnake classifies. For Craigslist it’s Ball Python Morphs for Adoption Something that I did not post that would work with your Axanthic female is a spider male 100% for Axanthic and 50% possible het for snow. Your female is also 50% possible het for snow. At the very least you will get Axanthic and Axanthic spiders and if both prove out het for snow, you will also get snows and albinos het snow.

^that's how the breeder worded a response of his to me on facebook if it helps narrow it any

Could you help me explain what these two words mean interchangably? Snow & Albino. I was under the impression they may be the same thing, but this makes me think Snow might be its own morph?

Albino is the visual expression of a recessive gene. i'm sure u know what albinos are - white and yellow snakes w/ pink/red eyes. they're one of the oldest morphs. Axanthic is another visual expression of a recessive gene. it's the grey/silver black female that u have. Snow is a double visual recessive - being both Albino and Axanthic. it's a beautiful, almost all white, pink/red eye snake w/ light yellow pattern that fades up.


instead of advertising your snake as an Axanthic 50% het Albino, the breeder advertised it as an Axanthic 50% het Snow. same thing, worded differently. Lol advertising it as het Snow made it sound more awesome and genetically more powerful IMO. i've also seen peeps advertise snakes as het Dreamsicle (Lavender Albino het Pied or Pied het Lavender ALbino).

oO nice I haven't been able to find damn near any information about the "snow morph" online -- which is any snake that's axanthic and albino -- by chance is there another name for it?? I'mma "thank" every one of you who responded

[PitOnTheProwl]

No other name for that two gene recessive, only Snow

[twothirteen]

Whatcha think I should breed her to to find out if she's 100% het for snow? What's the most basic way to find out?

[PitOnTheProwl]

Well seeing as you have a visual Axanthic possible Het Albino.........
You need to prove the Albino part of her, so the easy way would be a visual Albino anything.
The ideal way would be to find a male Albino Het VPI Axanthic.
