Is there only one known strain of albinism amongst carpets currently?

Hello all,

I'm looking at picking up a carpet python having been involved primarily in boa care in the past. While I'm not looking to purchase an animal to breed immediately, I would like to know if the only known albino strain falls on darwin carpets right now. The animal I was looking at is 100% het albino......50% Darwin, 37.5% coastal, and 12.5% IJ. So the recessive gene for albinism should be with the darwin half, correct?

In summary, if I buy a male albino someday I want to know if it will be compatible to produce albinos?....boas have different strains (kahl, sharp) that aren't compatible,.......does it work this way in carpets as well?

Thnks, Kevin

Yes, the Albino morph in captivity originates from the Darwin line and all Albino carpets are derived from that bloodline so will be compatible.

Thank you! Thats what I needed to know.
