It certainly does appear to have a good chance at being a genetic axanthic, and most likely it will be simple recessive if it is inheritable.

The good thing is that it's a girl, raise her up to breeding size, breed her to a morph(might as well if you got a male morph to do the job, otherwise a normal works), keep the clutch, and the next year breed a male back to her, if it is inheritable you should have a 50/50 chance of each egg being an axanthic. Also, with the rest of the clutch, you can breed a pair of her offspring together for a 25% chance per egg, or breed them to some of the known lines to try and prove compatibility.

Hope this helps,
Dan
