i doubt its a het red axanthic. most likely its just a normal, non-genetic blackback.

i have a wicked normal blackback female that i would love to prove out if she ever decides to lay a clutch for me...

Post a pic and I can tell you for sure if you bought a het red axanthic (which I do not feel you did for the price you paid) or if you do have a het red.
Enjoy him regardless and read all you can to keep him healthy and happy.

Well, your thing says you live in Ontario. If that's true, that's prolly why you don't know of J & J Reptiles; it's only in Calgary. But yes, I do mean they were het Clowns. And very cute ones at that! But anyways, we fed him for the first time today (Friday, March 20th), and he ate well. I think he's gonna be a good eater, but only time will tell. =]

Yea, I'll try to get a pic up of him soon, but he moves a lot. I'll try to get one tomorrow or something. If I can't, I'll post the link to a video of him.=]

Mykee we both know this as the truth...

Aaron, I think they're both dead on. It depends on where I am in my menstrual cycle.

I think there's a little boy deep down inside that needs a hug... You just need to let the inner child out Mykee :P

Aaron, I prefer to keep him in a wooden crate in the basement. I occasionally let him out but only if he promises not to make a run for it, and not to scream. Get's difficult to explain to my neighbours...
