Axanery would be a double homozygot.



The two traits in kings and other snakes have a very different appearance and it has nothing to do with the original phenoptype being red , yellow or orange.



It has to do with 2 different types of recessive traits that look dissimilar. The anery having more yellow pigment present and a chalky background. And the axanthic makes for almost a bluish color to the dark markings. Almost like the opposite or a amelanistic.



I have seen the opposites mislabled (an anery to a axanthic and a axanthic called an anery) but it really doesn't amount to a hill of beans except for hobbiest to be able to distinuish between different recessive traits. If you don't know or care then Axanery will work for the ill inforemed. Otherwise, for a a true anery x axanthic double hom...AXANERY sounds like a good name rather than saying "axanthic x anery double homozygot" every time.
