this happy baby boy(?) was sold to me as melanoid but i’m fairly certain he’s axanthic

stomach shot lol

ah, it’s just sand particles on his little head lol. thank you thoughI am by no means an expert on color typing, but it does look like there are some iridiphores on it in that second picture, which would disqualify it from being melanoid. I know that axanthics are usually more purple though, so I'm not sure it would be that either; it might just be a very dark wild type. Either way, it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!
That makes sense, but it looked like there was some near the tail? Thats what I was noticing. Hard to tell if that's sand or iridiphores in that pictureah, it’s just sand particles on his little head lol. thank you though
ah, he’s got a tiny bit on the end of his tail that just lacks pigmentationThat makes sense, but it looked like there was some near the tail? Thats what I was noticing. Hard to tell if that's sand or iridiphores in that picture
also, the bit at the center//base of his tail is also sand. he likes to stirr it up quite a bitah, he’s got a tiny bit on the end of his tail that just lacks pigmentation
hooray!Looks just like my axanthic!
