Okay, this will be the quick version since I am at work, but you can find great genetic info at www.newenglandreptile.com.

An axanthic is a snake lacking yellow pigment, the hatchlings are generally silver and black in color and most will brown out with age.

You have a 66% Het Axanthic. Here is how it was made:

A a
A AA Aa
a Aa aa

The 'A' represents the axanthic gene, and the 'a' represents the normal gene. This pairing would be a 100% het axanthic to a 100% het axanthic. This pairing would statisticaly produce 25% Axanthics, 50% - 100% het axanthics, and 25% normals. Because there is no immediate way to tell which of the normal looking balls are 100% hets, they are labeled as 66% het for axanthic. In other words, of the non-axanthic snakes in the clutch, 2/3 or 66% of them should statistically be 100% het for axanthic.

I hope this helps, and congrats on your purchase!

Any more questions fell free to e-mail more or add another post!
