Re: can anyone tell me if this snake is het or not ??????
No visible markers from what I can see.
Just a nice healthy ball python.
Albinos really don't have any definitive markers.
Here's my favorite albino story......
A buddy of mine bought a 100% het female albino from a reputable breeder.
He raised her up for 3 years to get her to weight, then bred her to a visible male albino..... 6 eggs.... no albinos.
He bred her again the following year.... 8 eggs.... no albinos!
Finally in total disgust, he "poop" talked the seller to everyone who would listen, and sold the now 2500g female to a friend for $50 as a normal.
The guy who bought her, bred her and had another 8 egg clutch.....
This time she produced 6 albinos and 2 normals (hets).
So it just goes to show that breeding hets is about numbers, patience, and knowing your animals.
