I think the snows go something like this (unless I've missed any):

2001
#1 Mike Jolliff, Jolliff line, female
#2 The Snake Keeper (Dan and Colette Sutherland), Sutherland line, female?

2002
#3 Ralph Davis, Jolliff line, male
#4 Ralph Davis, VPI line, male

2003
#5 Millennium Morphs (?), Jolliff line, male

Can't wait to see pictures.

I believe your number one is an albino. I saw it in person after it hatched.

Funny no new pictures! top shots side shots. Nice to see more recent pics of all of them.

Well, it's 2 years old this year, I wonder if it was big enough this year and laid eggs and if so bred to what? Should be able to get to the bottom of if it's an axanthic or not eventually by breeding it.

Here is a wild speculation for you. What if there was a strain of axanthic that was co-dominant. In this theoretical line, the hets would have reduced yellow but not as reduced as the homozygous ones. In babies with normal black the lowered yellow of the hets might not be that noticeable but in albinos the het axanthic might be confused with snows. However, if any of the existing axanthic lines had a difference between heterozygous and normal surely someone would have noticed it by now and told everyone so they are all probably completely recessive all the time.

My Red Axanthics are Co-Dominant with the Red Axanthic being the "super" form of the abberant black backs. Breed Red Axanthic to normal and you produce all Abberant looking black backs. The Abberant black backs are also hypo axanthic and in person they look to be the inbetween form of Normal and Red Axanthic.
