Yeah, that is the basic point there I think. Since it would typically be a recessive axanthic gene, the first generation would typically be varying yellow-ish intermediates, but the following generation when back-bred would produce some pure snow white and black ones if they were truly axanthic, and I think there would still be some sort of yellow pigment invloved with the offspring.

Or say it isn't recessive and it is a co-dominant gene instead, you should be able to breed a dark brown or black and very yellow coastal to a black and snow white and get pure white coloration in 50% of the offspring. Again, I think there would still be some yellow involved with breeding these opposite phenotypes.

Isn't that pretty much how you see it too? I see this as pretty much a moot topic though since anyboby can go out and grab either kind whenever they choose to..LOL!!
