About
Axanthic is a recessive mutation.
History
The earliest source for Axanthics are probably Lloyd Lemke’s line, which he had as far back as the early 90s or possibly earlier. I have yet been able to pinpoint the first ones. Interesting note here is that Lloyd marketed them as Aneries, since very little was known about them. Today we know there are two different strains, and when bred to each other, they yield double hets, unless one of the parents has the other gene hidden in heterozygous form. [1]
Appearance
Head
Axanthics will have jet black eyes. [2]
Body
They appear more speckled than Aneries. Babies will display a blue hue which is difficult to capture on film. [3]
Proven Lines
There is another famous line called New England Axanthic because the originators lived in the New England area. [4]
