"I have seen many desert phase calkings with no yellow whatsoever! And they were not axanthic"



That is absolutely 100% correct!



I had a 50-50 that I got at the Orlando Reptile Expo back in the early-mid 90's to pair with the outstanding male I had at home that was so pure jet black, and pure snow white it was ridiculous, and I went there with the sole purpose of making a special POINT of checking every single snakes venter and lateral area to get the very best one at the entire expo before I made my final choice on which one I wanted. I eaven made sure I got the one with the lightest clored SKIN between the scales too. I searched all afternoom and went through many nice 50-50 Cal. kings before I finally found the exact one that met my strict criteria requirements for my collection. The when they matured, the pair produced some of the most awesomely clean, pure black and white 50-50 known to the entire hobby. People were just blown away at how killer they were compared to most others.



Here is a pic of the female......and she wasn't no axanthic either..LOL!, just a killer normal specimen. No yellow, no beige, just pure jet black and snow white on every single scale from stem to stern...
