If it happened from a shed it'll usually take a few sheds to even get close to the color she was.

Even if this snake looked perfectly Axanthic for it's entire life you couldn't call it Axanthic unless you bred it and it's offspring indicated that this were so. Certainly if it looked other than Axanthic at any time previous to this photo, it isn't one, but let me ask you this? Since yellow shows up later in the life of a boa, unless it's an adult how can you even tell it has no yellow?
