Axanthics In the hognose interpretation, lack yellow and red. And my animals fit that bill. Other areas like sand boas and ball pythons have their own definitions as well. Or so it seems.
The Hogs from my area seem to carry yellow, red, and black.
Mine are lacking all red and yellow.
Theres a lot of weirdness in the hog keepers union, as many of the western hognose axanthics are BROWN, which must include red to occur. In the trade, axanthism is actually based on belly color, not so much the dorsal colors. They could careless what snake appears like, as long as it has a black and white belly.
So yes, my axanthics are totally lacking red and yellow and have total black and white bellies.
The crap they post here is to disparage me and nothing to do with the snakes.
The reason is, and its what they feared most. They feared I would do what I did with varanids, I would DO SOMETHING. And I have and will continue to do so. They do not want an outsider coming in and changing things, they liked it like it was and they worked hard to keep it the way they wanted it. The first day I posted here, It was explained to me. They keep the "bad guys" out. They did not know yet, I was as bad guy. That took about a week.
