I hatched out a kennerlyi female(pictured below), that is f2 to the male in the link. I also have the f1 which was previously thought to be a recessive trait. When the f1 was crossed with a normal, one of the f2's was blonde, proving it a dominant trait rather than recessive. As these blondes start out they have somewhat of a pattern that begins to fade with age, much like the anaconda line of westerns. The darker blotches stay while the lighter ones fade completely.

I'm sure by the pics you can imagine what a silver version of this morph would look like.

I'm hoping too that you will be able to breed it to find out if the gene has variations like both strains of axanthic in the westerns. Some axan westerns are nice and some are really nice. Hopefully you can find that out for us as well.
