Could I do anything interesting with him?

I have a male Het. normal BP, and though he's not quite at his maturity, and I am a kid (so I don't think I'd even be allowed to get another BP :( ) I have always wanted to have some snake eggs. ;) Preferably by breeding him, he has a really good temperment (REALLY good) and what I think is a nice dispositure. I'll get some recent pictures for everyone.

Anyways, I know he could probably have albino babies if I bred him to one, but is there any other combo I could do? Just curious. I've been browsing around and I see all sorts BP's coming from single types. ;)

I think your are confused, het. is short for heterozygous. What genetic mutation is he het. for.

The question is Het for what?

I am gleaning that it may be Albino, but who did you buy it from and what were you told it was?

An Albino normal?

So a visual Albino?

Or a Normal het for Albino?

Did you see the mother? Did she look albino? Or did she look normal and was perhaps het albino?

im taking it the mother was a visual albino bred to a normal male. There for hes 100% het albino.


your best off breeding him to visuals 100% het albino or an albino to prove him out.

I bought my snake at 2 weeks old from a reptile house that breeds BP's. I did not meet his mother, or father. I believe I have some breeding record or paper, but from what I am told the mother was visually albino, pure albino, and the father normal.

Sorry to take this off topic but if that breeder sold you a 2 week old baby you need stay clear of him. In no way shape or form should a ball be sold at that age. They have barely had their first shed and meal let alone to be at a show on display for sale.

ABSOLUTELY! Having said that, you have plenty of time to do some research and decide what you might want to breed him to, the proper husbandry of BPs, temperatures, how to incubate, etc...

Wait, you said he was not quite at maturity. How old is he now, and has he been eating well for you?

Is this thread about the same snake.

If so im confused now. Is is a year old or 2 weeks old

Got the snake back in september^^^

Lilly, please do your research. After reading some of your posts, you seem in way over your head. there are tons of posts if you use the search feature that will explain everything you have asked or are curious about.

well then i still stand by my remark about a breeder selling a young baby.

that previous thread was from 2008...

im calling troll on this thread...

what the heck?

So confused, nothing makes sense!
