morphs, hets?

Maybe this will help out with clarifying albino het breeding a little bit.


In this picture are 3 siblings that were the result of two 100% het albinos being bred.

One animal is the albino (since both parents carried the recessive gene) and the other 2 are 66% possible hets for albino. They look normal but there is basically a 66% chance that one or both are carrying the recessive gene.

Same applies with 100% hets. They will look normal in appearence but carry the recessive gene needed to produce an albino.

To get you albino the most inexpensive way would be to buy two 100% hets, grow them up, and then breed them. You should end up with one or more albinos in the clutch (statistically speaking:D ).

Thats a beauty of an albino, thumbs up.

SPJ.......... first off your AWESOME! and thank you for clarifying everything up. i got it now :) that is one hell of a albino! but if i bought 2 hets that were babys would take a long........time. guess patience is the key eh? lol and i talked to my wife about 2 hets and she said fine on that :P but i notice most 100% albino hets for the pair vary from 700 to 1000 on up :( but the 700 seem like babys so iunno. i need to win the lottery so i can start a good collection :P anyone selling a 1.1 100% albino het bp's? :P

If you are finding them for $1000 a pair you are looking in the wrong places. Tons of reputable breeders sell them for $500 a pair. I won't go into exact prices, but I bought a 1000 g 100% het female and a 150 g 100% het male and I did not pay $1000.

there will be a bunch when the 2007 babies hatch out

may i ask where? jeeze i wish i could find some for a good price and a good size and healthy. has yours had any born yet? btw spj wife says your albino is the best looking snake she's ever seen :P sad i wish there was some BP breeders in el paso, texas. cant find anyone. well theres a exotic pet store here that was selling a actual albino male for 200. but i got there and he was gone :( anyone in texas want a norm bp for free? pm me

Look on kingsnake.com


I saw a few days ago a post with 2 or 3 1000 g 100% het females for around $800 each.

Mine have not had babies yet because unfortunately neither are large enough to breed yet.

:( im gonna go back to the pet store that had the albino male for 200 and see if he can get another albino for me.

Beware.. if it was an actual albino for $200, it was likely a burmese python, not a ball python. A male albino ball python of any size will be close to $1000 or more.

A burmese python gets much, much larger than a ball python. Below is a picture of an albino burmese (and they get larger than that)
