So...follow along if you will...

We all know that the various lines of axanthics out there have proven to be incompatible. I presume we know this because someone bred a Jollif axanthic and a Barker axanthic (or TSK, whatever) and produced all normal appearing babies.

It dawns on me that all of these babies would have been het for both strains (yep, this leads to the question......).

Did it end there? Did anyone ever breed those double hets out? People talk alot about which strain of axanthic is "best". Isn't it possible that a "double axanthic" might be even cleaner, or nearly 100% without yellow even as adults? We have no idea why each strain does what it does, so...Isn't it possible that a "double homo axanthic" could lead to a perfect snow, pure white with red eyes? What about a triple homozygous axanthic?

I think I understand why no one has poured alot of effort into this, but it is intriguing, no?

I'd love for the Barkers or Sutherlands to chime in on this topic...
