>>Hey what i really like about the axantic speckled is the clean black and white colors. Reminds me of the new Jersy easterns i used to see in field guide books as a kid.

>>Do the axanthics vary with how clean they are? Do some blend more gray? Or do some have tinges of yellow? Help me pick out a super nice one at daytona this year.
Don got a ghost splendida given to him last year in Daytona, but I think it has some california influence.....I don't think any from Don's pure splendida line has produced any but I believe Don should this year....He can speak to this better than I....
Also....
There are two different axanthics phenotypes. One is a bluish gray and the other is white like the female I have. None have any tinges of yellow at all....They are truly axanthic not just white splendida like some of the ones found in West Texas.
BUT.....When you breed the two together some come out bluish gray and the others come out white....So the gene is compatible somewhat. Maybe they are co dominant with each other.....I am not sure what to call that type of trait....
Don isn't doing the Daytona show this year, but someone else may have some.........I believe most of them all originated with Don's line...same goes for the amels......
BTW.....we are getting the striped gene mixed into these lines next year..........I think a striped hypo or a striped ghost would look killer......maybe even a striped amel and snow......
Cya in Daytona old man.....LOL
