    Okay I see. Now I get it. Sweet guys, thanks for the clarification. I know you guys like eye candy so ima post a pic of the snake being sold. The asking price is $350 shipped, seems like a good deal.

    Sorry about the hotlinking. Was not aware that it is forbidden on this forum.

    I would think a pastel YB female would be a great choice of mate for your ivory.

    If it were me, I think I'd probably just forget about the 50% possible het albino part, though. All that means is that there is a 50% chance that she might be het albino. Unless you have any plans to try and prove her out using an albino male, you're never even going to know if she is or not. You could call the babies "25% possible het albino," but that always seemed like a stretch to me ... I think I'd maybe mention it in passing as an added bonus to buyers of her offspring, but unless you proved her out, I wouldn't put much stock in it beyond that.

    That's just me, though -- I'm not a huge fan of possible het anything, just 'cause I always like to know what I'm breeding. To me, her being a nice looking pastel YB would be plenty of reason to pick her as a good mate for an ivory :)

    Any suggestions on what would be best to breed with my current ivory to get the cleanest looking ivory?

    as far as I know they are not compatable with lesser russo or mojave,Russos make the cleaness white snakes .

    to clean it up i think you just stuck with pastels or fires. enchi might do something intresting to a ivory, clean it up and mayb do something with the pattern. but I've never herd of it being done.

    Are you trying to get an all white snake, or what?

    Exactly

    Note: I also went to my local pet store and I found a Yellowbelly compatible with my Ivory for $250. Good price? No pics cause he has to get it shipped first but he said it can produce Ivory no problem.

    The Ivory actually gets whiter with age, not more yellow
