is interesting information. Thanks for sharing.
I thought Ron had simply produced "Anerys" in a Blood X Blood litter, later realizing they were Anery Bloods (Pewter).

I will agree with you, I think there may be some Type IIs that are Axanthic. This theory comes from the appearance of the adults. With your matriarch to the Blizzard project as a good example to the Axanthic end. From pictures you have sent me, she doesn't appear to have any browns, but is mainly black. The result, I believe, of a lack of erythin and xanthin.

Meanwhile, I have seen some Type IIs, mainly imports, that have slight brown shades that how with age.
I know Axanthic Ball Pythons usually brown a little, but the Snows also have yellow. I think the BEST axanthic would have NO yellow.

These are all questions that will possibly be answered this year.

Bill's Blood X Snow could yield Anery offspring, which would prove compatibility.

Your DH Blizzards will give the answer on the Axanthic end. If they are WHITE, and don't develop the yellow I think it is safe to say the Type II Anery (or at least those from your Matriarch) are Axanthic.
