Shame the axanthics brown out... I bet an ax-pin would look killer.

edit: yup, at least I think so.

I'm really taken with the Axanthic, and even if they do fade out with age, you're right Kyle, there are some stunning morph's that can be made by combining Axanthic with other genes.

I'm really hoping the anerytheristic tigers and antrax retics hold their silver and black, they're stunning as babies.

There are a few stunning retics I've seen, but they're just too big for me!!

Don't believe everything I say, but from what I've seen, most bumblebee's tend to brown out as they age and look almost identical to spiders. The plus side of that is that you can make crazier morphs with a bumblebee than a spider Ball Python. I'd go for the bumblebee.

Yes, Like Axanthic Killer Bees

Is there any chance you would have a picture of an older one? I am interested in seeing how the colors change on them.

ya know... I would be too, just to see a comparison.

I did a little google searching but I am not happy with what I found. I am unsure if the snakes I saw are labeled right. Seeing something from someone whoms word I trust would help me understand the change better.

So after backing up your point, I feel the wrath. Nice.

Exactly. An ugly brown yearling won't do much to sell silver and black babies now will it?

I found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRmKePpc3qI&feature=relmfu ... I don't know I think I would need to see an adult in person. This one still looks pretty good and it didn't turn too terribly brown. In another clip the guy says she is a 2003 laying a 2009 clutch.

DomoneX · 04-19-12, 11:31 PM

thanks for all the info guys. knowing the prices and what to look for i think i might go for a spider. also, my girlfriends dad has a pastel that he would just love to breed with it so i can make my own bumble bee. now are those prices for younger pythons i'm guessing?

its regrettably well documented in retics.

edit: I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
