Albino & black pastel albino

What is the difference between an Albino & a black pastel albino?

The colour of both snakes are the same White & yellow with pinkish eyes,
there is however a huge price difference between them but why?
They both look the same

Hi,

They don't if you look closely enough.

Black pastels have markings around the eyes in the "alien heads" on their sides and can be a bit more orange in the colouration on occasion.

But the main difference, and the reason there is such a difference in price is the super form of the black pastel is a solid coloured snake - the background colour of the BP.

So while an albino black pastel and an albino look similar from a distance an albino super black pastel would be a solid white snake with red eyes and no pattern.

But the more genes in any animal the more it will cost because of the flexibility it gives in breeding so a pastel albino costs way more than a regular albino.

But when bred to another animal 50% of the offspring would not only be het albino but also pastels. Does that make sense?

Here is my blackpastelalbino male having fun with my albino female .
The pattern on the blpalbino is much more clearer, and the blpa is codom aswel as recessive.

IT's a double gene animal, it produces more valuable offspring and hence is more expensive.
