    Axanthics

    Axanthics; do you love them or hate them? I personally regard them as the ringed pythons of the ball python world. Amazing looking babies but ultimately just a big let down when they turn brown 6 months later.

    No thanks for me, don't want any axanthic traits in my BP collection. I'd be disappointed if it showed up accidentally.

    I tend to agree with the original post. They are neat and a cool project for some people but the browning out as the age turns me off. I'd rather work on some different recessives. (someday)

    I love Axanthics and combos of them and I'm really looking forward to producing some combo stuff in the future.

    Other morphs can lose there appeal over time by browning out as well. Doesn't mean I'll drop my Pastel projects though, just that I'm more carefull of pairings and what new animals I buy to add to my breeding stock. There are some nice adult axanthics out there and some not-so-nice ones. Same goes for almost every morph (exept pieds ). Its all in selective breeding.

    Re: Axanthics

    I think they are pretty sweet. Maybe the plain ole axanthics get pretty brown, but the combos are pretty sweet. I think if I said I didn't like axanthics because they brown out, I would also have to say that I don't like pastels since they brown out.... so I can't say that. I bet if you had an axanthic pied looking up at you when you opened the tub you wouldn't mind it as much =P


    Edit: Man I had to help someone at work when I started this post and the last post beat me to the pastel refrence. Don't mean to be repetative, haha
