>> "thus the term "axanthic" is used for animals that display reduced amounts of yellow, and "xanthic" animals have an over-abundance of yellow pigment.

I meant "axanthic" is the total "LACK" of yellow, not reduction of it. A reduction of yellow is typically termed "hypoxanthic".

Also, "xanthic"(over-yellow) animals can also be called "hyperxanthic" as well interchangeably. But this doesn't pertain to what yours exhibits, so I don't mean to be confusing you here, just trying to explain all the differences..LOL!
