So are there any Axanthic Cal Kings?


Yes, there are axanthic Cal kings. But they are not avaliable to the market yet.

My problem with the two terms anery and axanthic is when does red to to orange and ornage turn to yellow.

I asked Dr. bern bechtel about these terms anery vs axanthic in person twise. he said the terms can be used interchangably- and he wrote the book on snake gentics.

Also it is my opinion that differecing the anery and axanthic in herpettoculture is more simple. Lets say you breed an axanthic Florida king . We all agree that they are axanthic, correct. So lets say you hybridize the axanthic brooksi and breed it to a mostly red snake. Does it now become an anery?

I suggest this arguement because the recessive trait does not change because of what color or pheotype you breed the axanthic into.

You can't change the recessive trait and make it somethings else.

Now there is an anery in Florida kings that has some shades of brown and yellows present. That cannot be changed if you bred it into a mostkly black and white snake- like a black and white calif king. It is still anery!

Anyway, it is a couple things to think about. i would rather keep the recessive traits simple for breeding in herpetoculture instead of speculation on what color a phenotype is.
