In case people don't know "Mercury" is just another name for axanthic. Mine are most likely the exact same gene as the Axanthics and Silvers that are already out there but mine are pure Black Gaps, started from a wc axanthic Black Gap and kept pure by using only wc normal Black Gap subocs to develop the line. The name hasn't really taken off and some people seem to have just decided to call them Black Gap Silvers. I actually prefer the name Silver over Mercury too but I wouldn't feel right calling them Silvers without them having been proven compatable, which I haven't tried yet.



I got three hatchlings out so far and I believe two of them are "Mercury". There was just one clutch this year and it was from a Mercury x Het Mercury breeding. Thanks for asking.
