Axanthics lack the browns that are VERY prevalent in your snake.

by the way: it's a very nice looking snake. I'd take it off your hands.

There are some axanthics that do get brown in them as they get older. Those pics aren't the best.

I did not Buy it . Someone was trying to trade me for it and said it was an SK axanthic but it looks like a normal to me.

Hard call. The first photo looks like an ax to me, the closeup of the scale color doesn't. Maybe ask for outside daytime shots for better color?

Some axanthics can get some brown over time afaik,EX:
