Its multiple choice.
Don't forget long term plans.
If breeding goes well for me this season I will try again next year.
Thanks for any input

Re: Decisions Decisions!!!!
Hi,
I gotta say I'd go for;
Pastel 50% het. Albino 1.0 x Pastel 0.1
Pastel 50% het. Albino 1.0 x 100% het albino 0.1
Mainly to shoot for supers and possibly prove him out.
I'd give this guy the year off.
100% het. albino 1.0

Re: Decisions Decisions!!!!
That is exactly what I was thinking!

Re: Decisions Decisions!!!!
Hi,
There is one thing to consider though.
Statistically it would be easier to prove/ disprove him him with an albino female and pastel albinos aren't exactly massively different from normal albinos.
I know the heads are lighter but I know I couldn't pick them out with 100% reliability. :oops:

Re: Decisions Decisions!!!!
I was not going to breed this year because of the cost. But I was looking at a cooler incubator and thought of a cheap alternative, well same concept. Just use a cooler with the T-stat I have and a zoo-medics heat pad.

Re: Decisions Decisions!!!!
I would do try to make some supers and prove out the Pastel Poss Het Albino so
Pastel Poss Het Albino X Pastel
Pastel Poss Het Albino X Het Albino

Re: Decisions Decisions!!!!
Pastel50%HetAlbinoX100%HetAlbino
Re: Decisions Decisions!!!!
try to prove out that 50%er :D
pastel albinos are pretty, and you can work on some super pastel het albinos hopefully.
Of course it's a risk, but what's the point of having a 50%er without trying to prove it out?
Re: Decisions Decisions!!!!
Concur. Pastel poss Het Albino X Pastel & X Het Albino.
At best you produce a Pastel Albino or Albino and prove the guy out.
At worst you produce some Pastel 50% Het Albinos.
If you go Het X Het, you still only have a 25% chance per egg of producing an Albino, so you still might end up with a clutch of normal looking offspring which would be 66% Het.
Re: Decisions Decisions!!!!
I have to strongly disagree here. Since you only have two females, why even breed that 50% het male?? To "prove him out"? Why? Your 100% male can easily handle both females, thus almost assuring you of albino babies, plus pastel pos. het albino babies as well. I'd personally sell that 50% male, and if I wanted another male choose one from the cool babies you hatch from this coming season's hatchlings.
If you breed him and that 50% male does NOT prove out, then you end up with a bunch of much less valuable babies-none of which will be certain hets!

I will not be keeping any of the offspring unless I get a super or get any pastel albinos. I also thought about if he does not prove out then I would sell them for $50 or give them to folks who need them and will pay shipping. I am not in this for money just the joy of making some quality snakes.
I got the 100% boy as a gift he wasn't even in my breeding plans at first. So When I found out my pastel was 50%poss I knew I had to prove him out on the first (chance I get)
I have already put Jack (50%poss het) with Sally (pastel fem) we have what looks like some freak nasty snake procreation so I will get up pics tonight!
I am stoked! Ill keep you folks up to date.

Re: Decisions Decisions!!!!
Ok I read your original post wrong-I was thinking the 50% pos was a normal, not a pastel:rolleye2:
Yes-in that case you do need to prove him out. I hate to say it but i might mate him to the 100% het female as well. It's a gamble, but what the heck:gj:

Here are some bad pictures taken with my phone.
