About those two folks, they are fully aware of what occurred and fully understand there's very high percentage that those two adults are indeed recessive axanthics. A very very high percentage.

But I do agree that more work needs to be done and will be done. In fact the question is much greater then they allude to. having three pairs of founders, 3.3, Complicates the issue and all three need to show results. Its possible that the white axanthics may be recessive and on a different allele. So yes, more fun work will be done.

I am not sure they have any idea what founder means. In this case, its animals with an unknown genetic history. All the animals in that area could be visuals or non visuals. So having a normal pattern means nothing. All wild snakes, have an unknown genetic history. There could be albinism, melinism, axanthism, striping, patternless etc in any founder's genotype.

Those folks are living in deli cup genetics, which means, they have genetic lines in captivity. Proven to them means, a captive history. Which is fine, but Of course, most of those lines are wiped out by natures phenotypic selectors. So in nature, they are not important. pt1
