Ok so I'm missing something here. I get the hypo melanistic bit...melanin=pigment...loss of =ghost. Fine, but, what is axanthic? |

Hypo (hypomelanistic) is reduced black in all of the critters i can think of. The black pigment is still there, just faded 
I'm pretty sure hypo royals are more often called ghosts
and het means snakey carries the gene, but doesnt show it visually |
