When they Red Axanthics are born they have purple hues to them....I believe that they have red pigment, hence the name Red Axanthic. The long name is Woods Line Red Axanthic Black Back......but Red Axanthic is easier to say. I really like these guys. As they mature they turn the colour of the palm of your hand.....it's really weird! Anyways, here are some pics.

Wish ya the best of luck with them.
$5,000.00USD is better than $6,000.00USD but still way over my "regular joe" budget for snakes. But you are correct, it wouldn't be a very big investment to start a project with them. They are much more within reach than other morphs, that's for sure.
