Joliff and Barker Axanthics... are they compatible?

I was just curious if anyone has bred these two strains to see if they work together.

To the best of my knowledge, they are not compatible. The Snake Keeper line is also not compatible with either of the other lines. Axanthism may not be an "all or nothing" trait, meaning there may be degrees of axanthism in each "line". All of the genetic switches may not be the same. Something like you can't play a beta video cassette in a VHS machine, even though they both do the same thing: play movies. That may be a silly way of explaining it but it's the best I can do this morning.
This is how I understand it. Someone else may have a better explanation.
