I think these may be one of my favorite snakes we have produced over the years. These are a simple recessive and have a unique look. The black is solid black and the grey is charcoal. The snakes themselves seem to be "mini" looking when you compare them to other hatchlings. They are very strong feeders and are quickly growing from their 35 g hatching size!

Love it!!.......I know what you mean about "mini".........I have some hyper-mel stock here that tends to be "mini"....

I love "Dirty" snakes............Rock On Tracy!!!

Rock On!!!

Thanks Ralph, I appreciate that-and yes those melanistic snakes do seem mini to me also! Here is a pic of mom on eggs-the clutch was 7 eggs weighing 440 grams!!

Now that's a great pic!!..........very nice Tracy, can't wait to see them mixed into a pied.

Wow - I'm in love with that snake....

So it it a different line of axanthic or is the base snake (het) so dark there is very little yellow to wash out? Is there another dom/co-dom involved or is that a secret?

I'm with Ralph - that would make an AWESOME pied....

Thanks for sharing!

No secrets here (I'm on the no secrets on how to make things side!). These are a simple recessive, well actually I'm just assuming that because I bred axanthic to axanthic, I have not bred them to any other snake. I got the original 1.3 as babies imported from Africa.

I'd be very interested to hear when you eventually get hets and grow them up if they also lay small eggs or only the homozygous females.

Hello Tracy,

Was mom the standard 1500 grams when bred?

I really like that...

Imagine all the combos!!

I agree with Ralph on the pied idea. That would be sweet!

Wow, those are great. By far my favorite Axanthics so far.

Are those compatible with other forms of axanthic or is it too early to tell?
