Caramel het Axanthic
This Caramel het Axanthic is visually a standard Caramel – warm bronze and gold tones with reduced dark pigmentation. The Axanthic allele is carried in heterozygous form and is not visible. Het status is determined through documented parentage.
Caramel is intermediately inherited and originates from Coastal Carpet Pythons (M. s. mcdowelli). The hidden Axanthic allele is the key to producing Caramel Axanthic offspring – a combination where Axanthic suppresses yellow while Caramel reduces melanin, resulting in cool, desaturated caramel tones. Caramel Axanthic is not a Ghost (Ghost = Hypo + Axanthic exclusively).
As with all Caramels without a "pure Coastal" 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.
