YEAH! Saying thank you to the Odds Gods =)

So.. the backstory... we traded our albino labyrinth burm female for 2 het albino females, 1 normal female, and 1 normal male that they told us was a male, and we foolishly, didn't think to check until we got home. They had bred the normal female to a mojave, and they were convinced she had absorbed her eggs... well she didn't, and we got a clutch of eggs, 1 male mojave from here shortly after. Seeing as they gave us a male thinking it was female, and were entirely wrong about the mojave pairing having been absorbed... we weren't too optimistic about these het albino girls actually being het albino.

One of them has proven out for us.. very small clutch, only 3 eggs. 2 ended up albino. One just crawled out of the egg, the other two keep popping partway out then slinking back in to hide everytime they see light or sense movement near the incubator.... but this boy! Wowzers, I like him a lot:

Will put up post-shed pics once they are all out and have a chance to settle in.. but.. yay!

Here is dad (mom looks like a normal bp, nothing particularly exciting about her patterns):

My thoughts too =) Already have a friend of ours who breeds BPs throwing out snakes to trade for him. haha.

If I wasn't getting out of the military right now and moving back to cali you would have just got a pm saying how much for that male...lol. I can see him with my albino girl in the future...lol. what. Great pattern I'm blown away by it.

I am LOOOVING the look of that male! Let me know in the future if you get any babies that look like him.

Looks great! Good luck with your project:)

Awesome!!!

Wow!!!

Never seen an albino like that. Gorgeous!!!

A dinker project that already has albino in it, awesome!!

looks like an albino cinny.

He looks really cool and dad is pretty too. :gj:

Man look at that stripe, congrats!

When you get a chance can you post better pics of both parents.

Wow! Smoking' bino project:bow:

Something I have been struggling to do with this male for a while. He does not hold still for photos.... but I will see what I can do

Wow that little babe is gorgeous!! You sure you don't wanna sell him? lol. He is a stunner for sure. Congrats!!!

I do apologize for the crappy pictures. We have a mediocre setup that works for the tiny snakes involving a white pillowcase and a fishtank light... but even that relies on getting some sun through the window... without going out and buying a decently bright light to use and constructing a proper light box for the bigger snakes, I'm at the mercy of Washington's winter!

Here is what dam looks like:

Here are the pics I was able to wrestle out of the sire:

He is a hot little boy :)

Oh wow, that little albino boy is different looking! The dad looks pretty unique as well.

The stripe on that baby is unreal.

I don't think I've ever seen a fully striped albino before.

My guess is the influence is coming from the dad. He looks different than most albinos. He has a ton of speckles. It very well could be an incubation issue that killed the other eggs and caused that stripe though. Good luck on the project though and keep us posted.

There were only two other eggs and both are healthy, just haven't taken pictures of them yet because they look as they were expected to look :)

Though there isn't much info to be found, the closest I have been able to match dad is to a yellow headed albino... and he looks identical to a young male at a show a few months back that they had also labeled as a VPI yellow headed albino. Not really sure though, as there isn't much for info on it.

And finally, a photo of the 3 together and out of the eggs -

Will get proper pictures once they shed and are a little more settled =)

I just can't get over that stripe! I am sure he'll be staying with you.

I know it's early, but if you are like me, you are already toying with future projects with him. Any thoughts along those lines?

We actually got a graziani cinnamon het pied female from a close friend recently that should be ready to breed next season. We are trading the striped boy to him for his breeding size graz cinnamon het pied boy, which also gives us the opportunity to keep him close to home and breed him back to mom in the future. Highly unlikely that the stripe is anything other than freak occurrence, but worth playing with. We have another het albino x dad albino from this thread clutch expected in the future, so well see if anythiglng else neat shows up.

HOLY!!!!

That is one seriously wicked albino! Congrats man! The sire is really neat looking too

Absolutely stunning! All praise the Odds Gods!!! :bow::bow::bow:

Very cool! :gj:

I suppose time will tell with future breedings. The female has always been a lighter snake, but from what I can tell with specters, they look pretty dang close to normals anyway. As for the male being yellowbelly... I haven't a clue. It doesn't look like he has any of the speckles down the sides of his belly, i know they can vary a bit between individuals, and It would appear I have extremely limited snakes to compare him to. :P

Oh my gosh that thing is insane!!! Congrats big time on hatching that out!!!
