You correctly understand the breedings up to this point. It has been visual x visual only. In the two clutches there were no normals or supers.

It is definitely possible the original imported animals were already supers and it is a codominate trait. That would definitely be an interesting twist. I think Tracy and I are both leaning toward recessive simply because all other axanthic lines have been recessive. On the other hand, these do not look like any other axanthics and in a way its apples and oranges.

There is no breedings to help prove compatibility with existing axanthic lines, but because most of them are incompatible even though they look nearly identical as babies, I would be shocked if this one was compatible while appearing to be a completely different mutation. Time will tell!

Thanks for your input Tim!

Justin,
I think you should now consider the Clown option, as I think it would be great. I know there was no compatibility testing,k as I talked to Tracy about it shortly after they hatched. However, I think it is a definite must in the near future. I do have a feeling that it will not be compatible with any other line, but would not be surprised if it was compatible with the SK line (only because of their dark strain they have been producing). Like you and Tracy, I fully believe they are recessive, but only because of the oddsa of them not being so. I just wanted to throw out there that it has yet to be proven how the trait is inhereted, even though it has been proven to be a genetically inhereted trait.

Either way, I amglad to see the morph make it's move intoother collections, and I think that one has made it's way in to some great hands.
