Please help me with my new Albino BP :)

I wouldnt want to try that and hurt the little guy, I don't want to breed either. I want to know for curiosity’s sake. I am hoping to get some input regarding the coloring, and what peoples thoughts are regarding the contrats of color on mine, and the little bit or orange he's got going on.

I'd say that he was a High Contrast Albino .

Any other feedback would be appreciated. Any idea why it has hints of orange, and and orange dot or two?

Its an albino.
White, orange and yellow.

Here's what I'd call a basic albino ....

So compared to that one, mines more of a high contrast right?

Well the last one I bought looked like yours and it was sold as a HC .... the guy also had a standard Albino that looked kinda faded or washed - out in comparison .... rather like the photo I posted above ..

I would love for you to take a few educated guesses as to whether its male or female, also to give me an idea on whether you think its more of a "high contrast" or "low contrast". Also it has a little orange on it, just looking to get some friendly opinions from you all.. thank you!

Definitely not a high contrast because they are normally a almost deep orangey color and very identifiable. Male or female absolutely requires either a pop or probe. Tail length or width has no real bearing on true sexual identification. There are a lot of videos on you tube so you can observe and learn the technique. Justin Kobylka does one or two, Ralph Davis also has a series devoted to sexing ball pythons. It's pretty easy to do now that your bp is still young but you should have someone experienced in the procedure do it for you now. Stay in peace and not pieces. Good luck. :gj:

If you want to see what a high contrast albino looks like go to the website www.worldofballpythons.com and click on the morphs icon. There is a picture of high contrast albino bp along with mostly all of the thousands of morphs. Good luck. Stay in peace and not pieces. :gj:

It's interesting that you mention the orangey Albinos part as I've seen those advertised as Lavender Albinos or Caramel Albinos ...
