Need to clarify this bloodline, after a discussion w/ Jeff (thanks for your help Jeff !) on the genetics, most likely the axanthic was a het snow (as it originally came from) which is why snows were produced. The babies are actually double het for blizzard, most likely the axanthic male that produced the clutch is a blizzard but is masked by the axanthicism (which is co-dom).
Any genetic experts want to give their opinion on this would be great !

These guys were born 5/12/2009, they were produced from an axanthic male bred to a Iowa snow female. There were 10 Iowa snows, 7 axanthics (possible super axanthics) and 2 stilborns that were produced. Pictured are two of the 09 axanthic babies and an adult female axanthic. Cool thing w/ the axanthics is that they are co-dom, and breeding a snow to an axanthic possibly creates a super axanthic, needs to be proved out though. This morph has a vibrant blue at the bottom of the body, you can see the blue in the adult's photo pretty well.
