Granite het Axanthic
This animal is a visual Granite carrying the Axanthic allele in heterozygous form. Visually, it displays the characteristic Granite pattern fragmentation. The Axanthic het status is not visible and is determined through documented parentage.
Granite originates from Irian Jaya (M. s. harrisoni). Depending on the Axanthic line (Coastal or Papuan/IJ), this animal may or may not involve a subspecies cross. If the Axanthic allele is from the Papuan/IJ line, both genes originate from M. s. harrisoni, and the combination can be subspecies-pure.
The hidden Axanthic allele provides breeding value for producing visual Axanthic Granites – a double-recessive combination producing a high-contrast monochromatic phenotype with deep charcoal clusters on cool grey. Without a "pure IJ" label, this animal has a mixed subspecies background.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Philip at StarPythons. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations. Importing two carpet pythons from Europe might sound stressful, but Philip made it incredibly easy and kept me informed every step of the way. Both animals arrived safely, right on schedule, and in excellent condition. You can immediately tell they were well cared for, alert, healthy, and exactly as described. It’s clear that Philip takes pride in the quality of his animals and the service he provides. If you’re considering adding to your collection, especially through an import, I highly recommend StarPythons. This was a five-star experience all around, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Philip again.
