Andy, that was an older pic :)

He was sold to Charles of Acadiana Reptile Co, a friend of Garrick DeMeyer (you can see both of them in one of Garrick's youtube videos with a killer clown, I believe). Charles sold the albino to Garrick. I've spoken to both of them on the phone and via email (paper trail), and have agreed to continue to let Garrick work with the striped albino, as he has considerably more resources than I have on hand to attempt to isolate the striped gene if it exists. I get a portion of the offspring, and the original male back, regardless of the outcome regarding the genetics.

Wow thats amazing.

Thats pretty sweet! I am glad he is in good hands. I hope things work out well for you. I am sure it will given Garricks reputation. Hes a good guy. Best of luck to you!

I remember seeing this animal in person at Todd's house. We took pics with my paradox caramel albino and this guy in the same shot. I also stopped working with Todd. He was about one thing and one thing only. HIS MONEY.

I posted a pic a while ago and some guy jumped on the thread saying that I wasn't allowed to post the pic because Charles owned the animal. :rolleyes:

I believe I met you and your fiance(?) Brad over at Todd's house one time.

This Charles guy sounds like the exact type of person I wish to avoid once I make the official leap into the snake business (which is still about 4-5 yrs away from happening).

Anyway, very nice albino.

It reminds me of the tri-stripe albino, which made me wish I could afford a few tri-stripe snakes.

I don't believe it was Charles T. that was the person to be blamed for the sale. It was a guy called Todd that the OP was betrayed by. I used to work with him a lot as well, but as he was starting to sell of his ball pythons and purchase GTPs he started getting sketchy. As a matter of fact, the animal in my profile pic was purchased from Todd.

Here's hoping it's genetic. Are patterns often genetic? Like alien heads on normals, full strips of genetic strips, are they genetic as in if the parents have them, the kids are more likely too?

/Newbie asking.

Well, whoever it was that initiated the sketchy deal then.

Congrats on locating your snake and working out a deal... sounds like a good one, hoping he proves out for you! :) He is absolutely beautiful, I love the stripe and that contrast.
