Sorry, I guess I'm looking for the difference between the N.E. and a "normal" axanthic Brooksi. (not anery)

If you look at my reply I mentioned that they are from different phenotypes or locales. basically the New Englands came from lighter colored stock than the Lemkes. The Lemke stock has also been outbred to everything under the sun. I don't think there is a single true Lemke around. The Lemke stock had fertility problems in the beginning so had to be bred out immediatly to all sorts of other Florida king stock. The New England stock never had any fertility problems and "should" not be outbred. I use the term "should" because there are people selling New England stock that has been outcrossed and are just using the name to market their snakes. Kinda like everyone uses "brooksi" for all locales of Florida kings.
