Maybe I'm a nerd, but what is an axanthic blue tongue? I've never heard of that....

[Fatal_S]

I looked up axanthic on google, and all the pictures were of ball pythons or a few leos, but they all looked like the ghost morph. The again, I don't pay too much attention to morphs. Either way, I don't think there's any BTS like that...

i've seen a picture of a gerrards blue tongue skink, which had a very peachy redish colour. I'll chech for axanthic

Axanthic means Lack of yellow Pigment. This is not to be confused with Anerythristic - which is the lack of Red pigment.

Are you interested in a greyscale bluey?

Axanthic Reptiles generally have a silver colour where the Yellow pigment would normally be, therefore, A Silver Tanny may be what you're looking for.

If this is the case - you should talk to Andrew Seike about a purchase.

amelanistic is lacking the black pigment, making the animal usually red, white, orange, yellow, etc. Basically an albino. My cornsnake was an amel.

[Blotch]

From what i know it's only for Yellow and Red.

As you know Zach, other instances of pigment disorders (if that's what you'd call them - "Defect" is probably a better term) are obviously Albinism (complete lack of Pigment), Melanism (High level of melanin pigmentation), and Leucism (Pigment cell defects simillar to Albinism, but pigment production is normal, however the animal will be almost pure white like Lisa - Hefs bluey).

Ther was a thread a couple of weeks back that had some rather redish ones in, but I cant remember if they'd been photoshopped, did we get an answer to that one in the end.

Nice to see you Blotch

[Blotch]

Thx Leigh! Been a while mate!

I think the general consensus on the red Westerns was that they were a photoshop job. Also, they were located in Australia, so he couldn't get them in the U.S. anyways.

:noknow:

So is there a special word for every lacking color?

Scientists like to name things. Its human nature to classify

There are scientific words for everything. Like coprophagy lol

[Zach]

That's a good word....

[tim8dena]

ill post some pics tonight..i have one(not 100% sure what he is) is why i was asking..we got him from Indo..only one like this i have ever seen

thankstim

[tim8dena]

sorry these are not the best pics..he /she is black and silver with jet black eyes..has no red or yellow pigment anywhere..i will be accepting offers on it this week..its around 3 weeks old..email or call if interested

Beautiful little guy!

Can this possibly be a potential mate for King Cole? (Tigergenesis' Indo?)

[NomadOfTheHills]

Nice silver indo!

[Fatal_S]

Are you sure it's not just in shed? I've seen some silver indo's and meraukes, and some pictures of them are in shed. I think it's very pretty, but I wouldn't call it axanthic. By the same idea you could call any silver tanny axanthic, couldn't you? And yellow indos or meraukes are called just that, yellow, not given a name, Indonesian species just seem to come in a variety of colors. I know the picture of the 2 indos reminds me of my yellow and silver tanny (the colors, not patterns). Oh, and could you get a picture of the belly? Is it all white there too? It's very pretty, and could be a great mate for King Cole to produce some nice babies, but I'd not go as far as giving it axanthic, unless it produces some identical babies for a few generations.

What striking contrasts on that bluey!

[Funda]
