Hypo Zebra het Axanthic
This Hypo Zebra het Axanthic is visually a Hypo Zebra – pastel-like banding where Hypo lightens the dark bands and Zebra provides the transverse pattern. The Axanthic allele is carried in heterozygous form and is not visible. Het status is determined through documented parentage.
Hypo originates from Coastal (M. s. mcdowelli), Zebra from Jungle (M. s. cheynei) – a documented subspecies cross. Both visible mutations are intermediately inherited; Axanthic is recessive.
The hidden Axanthic allele adds breeding value for producing Ghost Zebra offspring (Hypo + Axanthic + Zebra) – a combination where the Ghost's pale, desaturated base is structured by Zebra's banding in soft grey-silver tones. Ghost = Hypo + Axanthic exclusively.
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.
