If it was a female, I would have been on it like flies on.........Well flies on something!!!! :)

P.S. This isn't going to turn into a flamewar is it?? Please tell me that there's not some long drawn out story that's going to drag on, and cause hostility on the forums?

JustinO did not buy this snake..... although it's pretty, I have real axanthics!
;)

That one looked really kewl though..... what's the deal with it?

[Bartman]

Whoops, I thought I saw you post something a few days ago about it. My bad :p

[Siretsap]

The real deal with it is that it is no axantic, the seller didn't say it was axantic, but looked axantic. Maybe on my pic it did, but in real life it is not.

This snake has been in my possession since it was 1st offered on the market. I have had it for a year and a half. during all the time he was in my possession (till last month by the way), he refused to eat frozen thawed. I even had him starv for a few months because I was sure he would eat frozen. He never did. He only eats live. If he started eating frozen, it could only of been since the 2nd of February since this is the day I sold this snake to someone else.

I wanted this snake to come back to me if the buyer decided to sell it, but I think there was some mis comprehension somewhere during that discussion cause I was never made aware of this snake being sold to someone in Toronto prior to seeing it advertised today.

All in all, I just want the person who bought this snake to know what it really is, not what it was advertised to be cause in the long run, I do not want someone to think I sold the snake as an axantic or a excellent feeder.

Maybe I'm confused by all this craziness, correct me if I'm wrong but you're not even the one who posted and sold the snake, correct? Why the need then to cover your hein?

[BornboreD]

I would also like to add, that in no way does it even look Axanthic. And, I'm with Mikey, what are you worried about?? You're not selling it. And if you weren't the one who sold it to the current seller, it really doesn't have too much to do with you anymore. Although, I repsect your intentions.

Colin

[Siretsap]

Cause I sold this snake on ssnakess on February 2nd...

And since I didn't mention it was Axantic and a weekly feeder on frozen thawed, I would like to know who mentionned this.

And I want to know who bought this snake, cause if the new owner intends on selling it again, I want it back here like it was initially mentioned.

Michael

[BornboreD]

Why'd you sell it in the first place then?? And it's been less than a month, since you sold it. So if you didn't sell it too Paul then it has obviously changed hands multiple times in a few short weeks. If it wasn't feeding before it's probably worse off now.

Colin

[Siretsap]

The situation has been sorted out, the snake is where it should be, and there were missing links that now make sense. Paul didn't have the snake in hand and this is why he used my pictures to advertise it as a favor for someone.

Sorry for the caused trouble.

bah..

i dont know if its just me or just the photos ive seen are no good or what, but id never buy an axanthic unless i was going for some kind of snow project or something. seems the adults all look completely normal for the most part..

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

Uhh, I dissagree.

are those not hatchlings?

[justinO]

yes, they are hatchlings. Adult don't look like that, but they are still neat.... and totally worth it!
:)

[mykee]

Not worth it in my opinion. If I'm going to dish out that kind of cash for a ball, I wan't it to look pretty as well as have "good stuff" on the inside. As for axanthics, that was an SK line, and of all the lines of axanthics out there, SK line axanthics hold their colour (or lack of colour) for the least amount of time. Who wants a snake that looks cool for the first 90 days of thier lives and then look like a plain ol' normal forever. The ever-dropping price of axanthics is a good sign of how popular they are as a morph.

[Bristen]

it seems to me to be very simple.. a morph to be worth good money has to
a) be very different from a normal
b) be attractive
c) produce great combos with other morphs

For axanthics, they are really amazing as hatchlings, but when they are adults , they look like normals... like Mykee pointed out, they will be pretty for only a short period of time... the absolute only thing going for axanthics in my opinion is combos.. but even at that, the combos are not the greatest in my opinion.. now if we could ever find axanthics that perfectly keep their hatchling color right-through adult-hood, then we're in business.. otherwise, it's on the bottom of my wanted list..

Thanks for listening,
Bristen.

[mykee]

Bristen, that's where the price of the red axanthic is totally justifiable in that it's a beautiful morph, (though not a typical "axanthic"), the crosses would be super-wicked, and they hold their colour forever.

I totally agree with you Mykee.. the Red Axanthics are awesome in my opinion.. they are very different.. they are also a combination of pattern and color in the same mutation.. plus, they apparently change quite a bit as they grow, but instead of getting uglier, they get prettier!! That is a snake I would really like to get! One of these days, hopefully... espcially that they are co-dom, no guess work & possible hets!
