Snows are produced by breeding an amelonistic to an axanthic. My question is: can you produce snows breeding an xanthic (caramel albino) to an axanthic? And if not, what would be the result (breeding the double hets together of course). As far as I know it has not happened yet in ball morphs, but has anyone done it in other snake species? Thank you, Lee

I'm thinking that caramel and axanthic together would be more of a "true ghost" type than a snow type. There are several ball python mutations that lighten up the black but do not remove it all (hypomelanistic, caramel, pastel, burgundy, even clown) and combined with axanthic I would expect each of these to make variations on a faded gray on white snake similar to a ghost corn. Should be very interesting.
