Please help 🫣 morph question

Hi please can someone help me with my little ones morph. I got him/her recently but have no idea what morph this could be. The person I got our little Groot from did tell me what they believe it is, but I strongly doubt it to be true :sweat_smile:

Looks to be just a dark base with chevron markings on the back. What where you told this little one was?

How big is it currently (weight)? Looks like a dark-based phantom

I was told Axanthic, hence why I didn’t believe it. :smiling_face: it doesn’t really matter what morph the little one is, I’d just like to know for knowledge purposes

Our little one is still very small. Only 4g at the moment. He/She isn’t our first Crestie and we actually have hatchlings of our own at the moment (tri coloured lily whites). If I didn’t have the prior care requirements knowledge (not only with cresties) I wouldn’t have taken a baby this small. But the person I got the little one from didn’t even ask :smirking_face:. I’m just not as knowledgeable yet regarding their morphs, but I am trying my best to educate myself :grin:

I mean it could be, but that would be entirely dependent on lineage. Axanthics cannot be IDed simply by looking at a photo, since the axanthic phenotype isn’t always super obvious and may overlap with some lines of non-axanthic. You need to either prove it out through breeding, or have lineage + photos of what it looked like at hatch. Was it the breeder/previous owner who told you?
