Ok I have 4 pair set to go...

I did my first 4 pairings today...a 2005 black back het albino female to a 2007 bright pastel het albino; a 2006 normal reduced pattern female to a 2008 lemon pastel; a 2006 normal het carmel albino to a 2007 het for albino male and lastly a 2006 granite female het for albino to 2007 het for albino who is a brother to the pastel het albino.
So how long before they lock? The pastel males are busy but the other two males are just hanging back doing nothing. Is it ok to leave them together over night? I placed them on paper towels like I do the colubrids hoping that they leave the same kind of "signs" once they have locked up.

how long before they lock?? could be hours could be weeks could be never..

So you have:

Pastel het albino male x Het Red Het Albino
Lemon pastel male x Normal
Het albino male x het caramel
Het albino male x granite het albino

Why not breed the pastel het albino to the het caramel and the granite? That way you have a chance at pastel albinos, and pastel poss. DH albino/caramel as opposed to just normal albinos and hets.
