TSK Axanthic

Gene

TSK Axanthic is a recessive axanthic line of the ball python, with silver, gray and black tones and little or no yellow. A snake needs two copies to show it. Axanthic lines are separate genes, so pairing two different lines usually gives normal-looking babies.

How TSK Axanthic works

Ball pythons show TSK Axanthic only with two copies. One copy makes a het, which looks normal but can pass TSK Axanthic on.

Recessive

Where sources disagree

One reference reports that a 2024 test found TSK Axanthic and Black Axanthic to be the same gene; older breeder sources treat them as separate lines.

Ball Python Care: Setup, Humidity, Feeding, and Shedding

A ball python spends most of its life doing very little, in a warm dark place, waiting. That is not a defect. It is a west and central African ambush predator that hides in rodent burrows and termite mounds through the day and comes out at dusk, and most good decisions about its care follow […]

How Long Do Ball Pythons Live? Lifespan, Aging, and Records

Ball pythons commonly live 15 to 20 years in captivity, and some live longer. Merck gives that planning range, while the Royal Veterinary College says up to 25 years. Much older animals are documented, but an exceptional record should not become a promise attached to every hatchling. Create a free ball python profile so age […]
