Pics of my collection!

After breeding for years and taking a ball-python hiatus, my collection is growing a bit again. My former snakes are all in my gallery, but here's the lineup of my current collection.

Albino male. 'Ortega.' He has a reduced pattern with no alien-eyes.

Albino female; no name yet, but leaning towards 'Queenie.' I just picked her up last weekend from a local friend who specializes in sand boas (not-into ball pythons,) and had some BPs left to him by his deceased sibling. She's a big, blocky girl and I am in love. She may be het-pied,because the sibling's other project-snakes were a pied female and albino pied male; they were a bit out of my price-range; lol.

'Snot.' I got a banana male from a friend who could no longer keep him. I have my suspicions about him being a bumblebee banana. He is VERY active when he's outta his tub; i am lucky to have gotten this pic! He was rather on the small side (he just had that thin-hatchling look about him when i first got him; you know the look,) and has developed a great appetite and is growing well.

'Punkin.' Male piebald. He is a jumpy little guy; not so much aggressive, as easily-startled! He has the famous pumpkin face on his side; will get a pic of that sometime.

'Rocket.' Het pied female. She will be bred to the pied male eventually. I got them as a pair.

And my big normal female, 'Helen.; She was a rescue years ago, and was in BAD shape. Burns on belly, retained eyecaps and shed, and a few of those poor-fitting-hide spinal rubs. She recovered completely and is a powerhouse eater; she does startle easily a bit as well, but there's not a human-biting bone in her body. She's really blossomed. I am debating on who to breed her with, once my males are to-size. She's in shed in this photo. She is a little bit over-bulky because she had a double-feeding last week, as my stepkid's snake refused its meal and this girl is the garbage-disposal type. I am suspicious that she could be a cinny.

Thanks for looking! Also in household (not pictured) are my stepkid's spotnose pastel and normal (who had been another bad-shape rescue and who also turned out wonderfully.)

Beautiful snakes. I especially love the male albino. Really nice contrast going on there. The banana doesn’t look like a bumblebee to me but still gorgeous.

Nice looking collection!! :gj:

Much thanks! Yes; I am in agreement that he's solely Banana.

Any ideas on the albino female? Her alien-eyes are yellow (not white) and she has that darker/brighter yellow along her topline. I just can't find photos of 'normal' albinos without the white alien-eyes.

They are all very lovely animals , look extremely well taken care of with lots of love thank you so much for sharing and best wishes always..:gj:

I agree yours is just banana. I posted a pic of my banana Bumblebee girlhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3787d61e88.jpg

many thanks! That is a beauty there, Lost!

Any ideas on the big albino, though? (regarding the deeper yellow scales along her top line and the yellow alien eyes.)

I dont have any suggestions, although I do politely disagree with tttaylor on any chance of being a spider. I dont think there is any chance the big albino is at all a spider. (Sorry to say I have no suggestions what it could be that wouldn't be throwing a dart blindfolded and spun around)

Albino is almost purely a color mutation as far as I know. You end up with a normal pattern (keep in mind normals have a good variety in their patterns as-is) with the white and yellow isntead of brown and black.

Spider is almost purely a pattern mutation. I have a single gene spider het for pied who looks like the picture below. He is a somewhat reduced pattern for a spider since he doesnt have as many dark lines down to his sides and few dots compared to others I have seen, but an albino would be yellow where he is brown and white where his black/dark brown is.
