lol thats where i learned genetics! hey does anyone know why salty is a registered user? im still a new user!! oh sorry, welcome to the forums salty. this place is great.

You know the crazy thing. Turns out I grew up only a very short distance from where Mark and his wife are in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (I grew up in nearby Lindsay). Mark's been kind enough to extend an invitation for Mike and I to come and visit whenever I get back to my hometown, which is just not often unfortunately.

Most people have found my genetics site to be helpful:

I agree, if you want to breed, buy a normal female or Het for something female first cuz they need more time to reach breeding age. Het Albinos are a good choice, and in a year or two you could buy an Albino male. Or if you're budget doesn't fit that plan, buy a normal female now and in a year or two buy a Pastel male which will statistically 50/50 give you Pastels (it being co-dominant). Just make sure you have your snake sexed properly cuz there's nothing worse than raising a snake for two or three years and finding out it isn't the sex you wanted.
