axanthic?

The axanthic condition is defined as the lack of yellow and red pigments in the skin... The axanthic mutation does not affect the melanophores, (cells responsible for brown and black pigment), or iridophores, (cells that contain reflecting platelets). It only affects the xanthophores. These are the cells responsible for yellow and red pigment. The gene may completely inhibit the formaiton of these pigments or greatly reduce their formation

Kind of. You won't find this word in the dictionary. It is not generally used when talking corn snakes, but in the king snake world, it can be used synonymously with anerythristic, according to Dr. Bechtel. :wavey:

LOL! You're not a bad person for this, Elle. You're a bad person for typing the "m" word all the time. :grin01:

I'm just a little sensitive about this issue. Where I work, my thoughts, ideas, analyses and writing are routinely stolen by my managers and others, and presented as their own. :angry01:

Well actually Dean the whole Idea was to copy it quite blatantly, thus showing how simple it is to google things like this :p

It obviously did not come across this way. But I completly understand your sensativity about plagiarism... I for one cannot stand it... for many reasons, mainly first hand experience.
 
Anerys actually are axanthics, too. The yellow that you see at their chins is not the result of any xanthophores producing pigment, it is the accumulation of yellow pigments up taken and stored from their diets.

If you look closely, even on an amber or the like, the yellow has a different quality to it on the chin than the pigments the snake naturally produces.
