Welcome to the Hunters Guide...

Here you will find all the details you will need to seek out Het Red Axanthics



Q. What is a Het Red Axanthic?



GENETICS:

Incomplete Dominant (Co- Dominant ) A Het Red Axanthic (HRA for the rest of the article) breed to a normal will produce 50% HRAs and 50% Normals. A HRA breed to a HRA will produce 25% Red Axanthics / 50% HRAs / 25% Normals.



1. HRAs have a lot in common with the Black Pastels in appearance. Color is the big deference. HRAs have mostly normal coloring. The traits of the Het Red Axanthic (HRA) are... Squiggles (for lack of a better name) - are the black lines around the single dot inside the "Mojave Pattern" (yes they have the "Mojave Pattern" too). The squiggles are shown in RED, HRAs have varying degrees of squiggles but most have at least some. Another trait is flames (if you haven not noticed, most mutations have varying flames) shown with the PURPLE arrows. Most of them also have the break in the neck stripe similar to Granites shown in GREEN. The BLUE arrow shows the reddish brown blushing inside the Black Back.







2. Here is a close up of the squiggles shown in RED. Also the single black dot where the "alien heads" would be. shown with the GREEN arrows







3. Heres a HRA that would be a little tougher to pick out. This animal does have the squiggles (shown in RED) but a lot less of them. Once again you can see the flames in GREEN. Also take note of the break in the neck stripe (not circled)







4. This is a hatchling and shows a high amount of the reddish blushing (shown with the BLUE arrows). Take note of the squiggles shown in RED.







5. Here is a close up of the flames on a HRA in PURPLE.







6. The belly on a HRA looks pretty normal but is lighter







Variations and Examples



Variation 1 - For some reason animals produced from Het Red Axanthis x Normal produce less aberrant animals and ones produced by Red Axanthic x Normal produce much more wildly patterned animals. The one on the left is from HRA x Normal and the one on the right from a Red Axanthic x Normal







Variation 2 - This is another tough one, but you can see all the traits. Squiggles in RED (few of them but they are there) Flames in PURPLE and the reddish blushing in BLUE. Also the break in the neck stripe is present (not circled)







Variation 3- Here are 3 different examples of HRAs. All showing varying degrees of the traits.







Example 1 - Another close-up of the single dot pattern and the squiggles







Example 2 - A side shot of a HRA





All photos by Corey Woods and special thanks for taking the pictures in the middle of the night!



There are more examples of Het Red Axanthics but they follow the same rules.



1. Squiggles around the single black dot ("Mojave Pattern"

2. Reddish blushing in the "Black Back"

3. Flames (geez I think all morphs have these lol)

4. Break in the neck stripe.



Hope this helps
