What also comes to mind is how the lack of melanin affects the other pigments as well in amelanistic tricolors.

With amelanistics tricolors, the red is much brighter without melanin present....so is yellow.

So the old topic rears its ugly head again....can a kingsnake that does not normally express red (like a california king) have an anerythristic morph?

Maybe there's red in there that we cannot physically see but with the lack of those red pigmentation cells maybe the white and black/yellow we do see is affected.....

Is a black and white getula an axanthic by definition? or not?
