Documentation

what are the different acceptable ways of "documenting" hets ect. does a pic of the parents breeding suffice? How do you guys do it??:)........Im about to be het albino heavy(fingers crossed) and would like to back my animals in an acceptable way.

thnx Snakefreak64

Generally speaking, a breeder's word is all a person gets.

Pics of both sire and dam is encouraging.

A picture of copulation actually taking place is almost unheard of simply because you don't always catch them "in the act." Since you have one of these, I'm sure no one will question the validity of your 100% het albino babies. =)

Anyone can documents hets and do genetic paperwork what matter is being REPUTABLE because in the end the genetic paperwork or guarantee is only as good as the seller is.

If you do not have any reputation or have not been around very long selling hets might be a bit difficult regardless of pictures or paperwork.

this is sad but true, , but on that note is it just me or do het albino baby balls glow orange, I find this to be true.:)

I understand what everybody is saying about your reputation but you have to start somewhere. I like the way Ozzy Boids does his hets. He takes a picture of the baby and gives them a # when born. He guarantees the genetics on the animal for life no matter how many times it is sold. If you by one of his animals from someone else you can email a pic and info on the snake and he will confirm genetics of that animal. I feel that is above and beyond what most breeders would do. This is a big help if you should you ever need to sell the animals. It also protects you if someone comes back and says an animal didn't prove out you will know for sure if it in fact the animal you sold them.

Sadly anyone can take any pic they want and say it's a snakes parents. I don't do het's unless I know the breeder. If it is a reputable dealer You can take their word for it I would imagine. The other problem with het's are that they might carry the gene but not throw out the visual in the babies for several clutch's if ever. I have good friends that are breeders that have het's that have only produced 1 offspring that is visual and it was after 2 years of breeding. You know they are 100% but just don't always get the visual baby that you want.
