What to get and what colors

[ICEMAN1143]

Hi I have a 6 month old male albino high contrast ball python. I got him in may at a show from a breeder. The breeder said that there was a piebald in the clutch with him and that if i bred him i should get albino's and piebald's. This is my first snake I have owned. He is very laid back and not aggressive at all. I was wondering what should I get to breed to him next year im looking to get a 2 year old 100% het female but not sure what mixed with an albino makes what. Every where on the web says different things so i was wondering what you guys and gals thought and if ya'll had any ideas.


Thanks

I would assume that he bred DH to DH therefore your Albino is only 66% Het Pied and therefore you may or may not hatch any pied should you breed him to the right female.

Depending on your budget and time there are various options out there for you.

Budget wise under $1000

You could get a pied female should your male prove to be Het Pied you would hatch some Pied 100% Het Albinos as well as some DH Albino Pied.

Should your male not prove out you would at least hatch some DH Albino Pied you could hold back and breed in the future.

Under $2000

You could get a DH Albino Pied Female should your Male prove out you would get a Shot at an Albino Pied.

Should he not prove you would hatch Albinos 50% Het Pieds and Het Albinos 50% Het Pieds

Over $5000

You can get a Pied 100% Het Albino should your male prove out you would get better odds for Albino Pied and you would hatch DH Albino Pieds, Albino Het Pieds and Pied Het Albinos as well.

Should he not prove you would hatch Albino Het Pied and DH Albino Pieds

Hope you're not confused now

Thanks now does that apply to like a pastel, bumble bee or spider? Or does it matter? I would love a piebald with a good amount of white on it from the clutch of my male and female when i get one. The one that was from the same clutch from my male only had 2 small sections of white and he was asking too much for it. I thought
