Question about Red Axanthics... are there problems?

[GenePirate]

Anyway, I was curious about Red Axanthics. I've been looking into getting a couple females, and I think the Het Reds and Red Axanthics and some very nice looking snakes.

My question is: why don't you see more of them? They're a co-dominate morph, and pretty easy to make, plus not all THAT expensive. Are there problems with the Reds? Or in blending the Reds with other morphs?

I just think something like a Red Axanthic Cinnamon would be a killer-looking dark morph.

Just curious... thanks for any and all info!

Funny you should mention red axanthic cinnys. We've (hopefully) got a clutch of het red cinnys hatching next week, and as kyote19 says, they are awesome looking. RDR is asking a good penny for them. (I inquired a couple of months ago.)

We've got four het reds, and I haven't experienced or heard anything about bad temperament in reds. The juvy male we have for sale is sweet, and our adult male and females are docile as any typical BP.

I've always assumed that they aren't that plentiful because people just prefer the regular axanthics and fall on that side of the fence. I could be wrong, but in any event, you can't go wrong when het reds are so inexpensive and the combos they make are anything but.
