Snow BHP?

[saximus]

Do these exist yet? My attempts to Google it have come up with nothing but axanthic and albino has been around for a while now so I would have figured someone would have produced some...?

What's a snow?

 

[Umbral]

Cold stuff that falls from the sky.
I think snows are pure white.

Snow (Amelanistic + Anerythristic)

Snow (Amelanistic + Anerythristic)

Actually I'm referring to albino axanthic. As far as I know, no Aussie pythons are anery

Wouldn't that just produce a normal looking albino? The white would stay white and the black would be yellow. The albino gene just strip melanin.

The Axanthic portion depletes the yellow/orange, hence why axanthic bhp's are black and white. And well, when you take the yellow away from an albino, you're left with a white snake!

 

[RedFox]

So theoretically, a snow is possible then???

Wouldnt albino/axanthic make something different if you need Anerythristic/Amelanistic to make a snow?

 

[sunglow]

the problem is like with the albino olive the albino bhp arent the best breeders, there are albino bhp in aus but not being sold until greater numbers are breed a couple pairs of hets were sold a little while ago for around the 20k a pair. there are double hets overseas....

No. Anery is lack of red. Axanthic is lack of yellow.
They can both make snows depending on what colour pigmentation is left in the albino. Your example is for Corns where the albino form makes a red and white animal. Albino BHPs are not red and white. They are yellow/orange and white meaning that to remove the rest of the pigment you need to remove yellow not red

That is a fantastic explanation, ive been on google trying to work it out and couldn't find a simple answer, It makes a lot more sense now. Cheers
