Thanks for the insight, so that would be a good indicator they are actually Axanthics (aka Silvers). if they are like that when they hatch. (I know I read a thread about their validity as neonates now that a few seconds has passed since I read your response).

Guess sometimes I need to be told twice.

Thanks again!!

Frank

>>Some of the naturally occuring polygenic appearances (like Orange and Gray phase) do go through a bit of a color change, but not Axanthics (aka Silvers). They're born silvery white and pretty much stay that way.

>>I got a pair from Randy in '06, and they're Trumbower Silvers...often a bit lighter than some of the other Axanthics, almost white because they're so light silver. Some Trumbowers look more or less average though. Randy's are nice.
