New females for the green axanthic male

[Jeff B]

Picked up 3 new semifasciatus (chicago) females that will be bred by the green axanthic. One seems to be normal looking, one is lacking any yellow (classic axanthic look?), and one that is completely lacking any black pigment (hypomelanistic?), of course these are unproven traits. The one I am most excited to breed the green axanthic to is the hypomelanistic (3rd photo) because if you take away the black on the green axanthic in theory you would be left with a solid green snake, which would be really neat looking. The hypomelanistic is in my oppinion the most likely to prove to be a genetic trait, because if you look at her she is completely stripped of black and you can see the faint remnants where the black neck bars should be and in the right light you can barely see the checkerboard patter, it's really a super cool looking snake in person.

Hey Jeff,

Very nice snakes, particularly like the hypo. Hope the axanthic proves out for you.

Great looking bunch...

Thanks guys, you know I hate to use hypo, lol, but to me that snake fits the definition of hypomelanistic as well as any snake i've seen, the black and the checkering is completely gone, yet you can still see where the black checkerboard pattern was.

Those are all such beautiful snakes. The breeding results will be exciting to see. It is so interesting to me.
