Overview

This genetic test assesses the GCH2 c.520C>T variant associated with Axanthic in ball pythons. Axanthic animals lack the usual yellow pigmentation and therefore show a cooler grey-to-black appearance while retaining the underlying pattern. The result helps determine whether the tested animal is free, carrier or positive for the tested variant. Other genetic factors and other axanthic lines can still influence the final appearance.
