Never seen these before. these jags xantic?
 
I've no idea what they are mate , hoping a few will help me out with a positive id on them so I know what ive got :) wouldn't the xantic strain have more of the darker patches and obvious pattern difference ?
 
Those jags look interesting for sure....they seem xanthic...but also being that their color looks whitish maybe they could be considered leucistic....

I only have vague understanding of it myself.....I threw that out there, as food for thought....but basically my understanding is that xanthic animals are very yellow... I have seen pics of animals labeled xanthic that were very bright yellow and animals leucistic that were very white, with either type having the condition occurring in just parts of the body or others having the patterns they would normally have being faint, or with some the pattern completely not present.....hopefully someone who really knows will add input.... now we all have even more reason to watch this thread....looking forward to the updates...
 
Thanks cich , im sure a few more will help out too :) my lfs have no idea really hence the gold jag label on the thread :D
