Tiger het Axanthic (pure Coastal)
This Tiger het Axanthic is from a documented pure Coastal lineage (M. s. mcdowelli). Visually, it displays the characteristic Tiger pattern – longitudinal striping replacing saddle markings. The Axanthic allele (Coastal line) is carried in heterozygous form and is not visible. Het status is determined through documented parentage.
Tiger is polygenic and Axanthic is recessive, both from M. s. mcdowelli. The pure Coastal status means no subspecies crossing has occurred in this animal's documented lineage.
The hidden Axanthic allele provides breeding value toward Axanthic Tiger (pure Coastal) – a subspecies-pure combination producing cool grey-silver-black longitudinal striping without warm tones. Tiger has no associated neurological problems and no het or Super form.
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.
