I am considering adding 1 or 2 albino ball pythons to my collections... not hets... but albinos.


My question is with the genetics of albino balls. I once had an albino corn snake, and it just wasn't "normal" it was a very difficult feeder, and generaly seemed unhealthy. I ended up trading it in after months of frustration. I don't know if some of the issues were related to the albino gene or not.

Are Albino Ball Pythons any different then Normals??? I mean as far as their eating, life expectancy, and overal health?


Any info you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Mike
