That's not too bad but I might be able to find some snakes around my area really cheap from people that are in a hurry to get rid of them due to moving/problems at home ect..

You can probably also pick up a pair of Double Hets for $500 which will cut 18 months to 3 years out of that project, knowing that if you buy a Pied and an Albino you are looking at 3 to 6 years before producing your own Albino Pied.

Yes that is very true about picking up the double hets but I'll figure it out when the opportunity comes :)

I didn't even think about double hets somehow. I was picturing a pair of albino hets and a pair of pied hets.

Deborah is right, double hets would probably be best.

Or maybe a pair of albinos both get for pied, or vice versa.

I actually think that'll be the route I take. Would all the normal looking hatchlings be poss. double het albino pied?? There would be a 1/16 chance I hit the albino piebald and if I do get 1 or more I'd keep back on then breed back to be of the parents depending on gender.

Correct the normal looking offsprings would be considered Possible Double Hets and you would get 1/16 chance per egg to hatch an albino Pied.

Here is another route you can take get a female double het albino pied raise her up and in a year from now by a male albino het pied, might be a little more but it will increase your odds.

I could do that and in the long run I'll be making more money than I put in and on top of that I have an amazing animal!! :)

I'm still brand new to the breeding scene but I've had ball pythons in the past and it just never crossed my mind to breeds them :p

I just found an albino pied on kingsnake for $20,000!!

This is exactly what I am going for now. I recently got an albino male and a pied female. I am getting them up to size so hopefully they will be breeding later this year.
