One of the problems we have here with my axanthics is this. Some of you think, you know what they are, based on the one or two founders of western hogs. You seem to want to tell me what I have.
The problem I have with that is, that is unscientific. You nor I have any idea as to what I have, as their genetics is new to captivity. Current results and future results will determine, what you assume you already know. Because my exanthics have no relationship with existing western axanthics, there is no reason what so ever, that any of us(you) would know anything. Any prediction would be a simple assumption.
The unusual part is, As I mentioned many times, I could careless what they are called. My hopes are and so far they have been fulfilled is, they produce a range of axanthics so I/we can pick and choose and create some appealing variations. Just as keepers of "RED" hognose have done. So far, I have two types of axanthics, super lite ones, and super dark ones. My goal is to make the darker type darker and the liter type, liter. I could careless what the avenue is, as long as it gets me there. Again, this is how keepers approached Red hognose, do what ever you have to do to achieve redder more appealing hognose. And that is being done. Its not about a Justin line or a Shores line.
