Egg Color

[stevenwignet]

Why are lecuistic axolotl eggs dark in color when they are white when full grown?
and what colors of axolotls come from white eggs?
is there a list of what axolotls come from what coloured eggs?

Leucistics are not albino and can produce the darker pigmentation, but the d/d genetics prevent the pigment cells from migrating off the top of the animal. That's why they may have some pigmentation when they're small and why there are dirty leucistics. It is also the reason why leucistic axie will lay dark colored eggs.

The egg color doesn't indicate what color the offspring will be. So you can get a dark colored axie from a white egg. The egg color depends on the color of the mother - albinos lay white eggs.
