Check out the axanthic firefly, I bet it's what your looking for, not sure how they look as adults though. I got to see some babies in person..... just stunning.
Oh wow I just looked it up and YES! If they stay that way as adults I would be in heaven.

Presumably a killer zebra (super pastel axanthic spider) would do even better. You could probably also add fire or vanilla, etc.

You don't want the spider because of the wobble, I assume? Nothing looks like a spider other than a spider, except maybe the woma. And womas sometimes also have a wobble.

Best bet is a pinstripe. Axanthic pinstripes also do lose their silver color as they age. Adding enchi and pastel to the mix would probably do a lot to keep the brown away. I'm not sure, I haven't see any pastel axanthic pinstripes, let alone pastel/enchi/fire/pinstripes? Are they out there?
Yep I don't want to add any spider due to the wobble. I almost bought a bumblee male when I was shopping for my BP but decided against it last minute. Even though it doesn't effect the snakes quality of life, I don't want to feel bad for them. I'd hate to get one that corkscrews or flips over. I'd feel miserable over it.

And now would ghost give a similiar look? I just want the nice white/cream and the black. Not too picky about the pattern. Is Axanthic the only gene that will give me the white and black I'm seeking? Odd to me how spiders hold the white better than pins. I'm so used to horse genetics that BP genetics are all way over my head currently. Thank you for the help!

I would suggest not adding Pastel to Axanthic stuff...It's hard for the Axanthic to overcome such a Yellow Morph.

Fire, Vanilla, would be the best genes to add to Axanthics to keep them light!

There have been very few Blast Axanthics made...I have never seen a Blast Enchi Fire Axanthic...

Blonde Blast VPI Axanthic


For comparison here is a Pin VPI Axanthic at about the same size...
That's a pretty big color contrast! Thank you for the help and comparisons!
