Question are lavenders also axanthic ?

Just wondering if all lavenders bred and owned by others lack all signs of yellow. Here is my male lavender hurricane motley breeder. All my lavenders are lacking the yellow on their necks. Don't get me wrong, I like that there is NO yellow. Just wondering ?

At one point I was pretty positive that the Lavender corn is an axanthic form of the corn snake. That was until I hatched out three of them with noticeable yellow on the sides of the head and neck. And that is after many years producing them and with literally hundreds of others that absolutely lack any yellow whatsoever. So now although that blew my theory out of the water, it sill puzzles me why I only have those few with yellow and have not seen it before, or since. And belive me, I have outcrossed the Lavender extensively, so certainly this should have showed up more than it has.

Particularly with the Lavender Motleys, I would have expected the yellow coloration to be very noticeable. Snow Motleys are exceptional looking animals because of the color influence given by the Motleys. But none of the group of Lavender Motleys I have show even the slightest sign of yellow on them. Of course, I do have some animals that could be either Snow Motleys or Amelanistic Lavender Motleys (Opal Motleys?), but at this point I'm not certain which they are. If they have yellow on them, are they Snow Motleys, or are they Opal Motleys that are showing the xanthism? I do have 'A' Anerythrism in my stock that gives me the Lavender Motleys, so both are certainly possible. So is an animal homozygous for Lavender, Amelanism, Motley, and 'A' Anerythism, but I don't have any idea what they would really look like.

So many questions...........
