I would say that I haven't seen a "brown" Axanthic. But then again I had never seen a "brown" Pastel until I saw some low quality adults being sold at shows.
Axanthics are VERY hard to photograph. Adding dull yellow light to an animal that normally lacks yellow pigment is kind of defeating the purpose. Its very hard to capture what a good example of an Axanthic looks like in person. Pics honestly do rarely do them justice.
I think selective breeding brings out the best in any gene and Axanthics are no exception. Most genes darken with age. Others brighten with age. Combining a high quality example of "darkening" gene with a high quality example of a "lightning" gene and you have a pretty awesome combination as an adult.
Alex your Fire Axanthic is a GREAT example of that! I can't wait to see him after another year or so. Will no doubt GLOW!
Just Axanthics do darken much like any other morph as they age like Alex pointed out. But Axanthic is in a realm all on its own when it comes to what it can do to normally colorful animals.
In a sea of "yellow" snakes I'm a huge advocate of what Axanthic does that not many other combinations of genes can do. Silver, black, white, grey....all part of the Axanthic color pallet that can make some very pretty combos....
