The Pastel animals I produced hatched silver but are not Axanthics. That is why I didn't call them Axanthic Pastels - wasn't sure what they were at first. I believe the reason they hatched silver is because they carry the genes for the Axanthic(s). We are obviously going to test this theory out & have noticed "visual markers" w/ our line of Axanthics. It was just multiplied w/ the Pastel trait. After there first shed. they developed lots of yellow/brown but none of the orange that the sibs have that hatched out looking like normal Pastels. The Barkers also hatched out Pastels (Het. Axanthic) that appeared to be different (in the same way) than normal Pastels. I have heard that Pastels het. for other traits appear different also. Maybe next year?

So,being that one can see the het,and even more so when shown in a pastel...
Then should that strain of axanthic still be referred to as recessive ?
