Just wondering what albino pieds where going for these days.

Those are pretty snakes too bad that price range is unrealistic for me as of now,😡 being a broke college student sucks I forgot about that when I decided after four years it's time to go back to college.

Another one recently showed up...

Not as pricey. No picture either.

Wow, they've really come down from what they started at and in a pretty short span of time. Still well out of my price range but from 5 figures to 4 in less than three years... I have the ingredients to "make" one, eventually, if the odds hit; more fun than just buying one, I think. Great looking snakes, just something about that pattern and the combination of those two genes. I'm kind of partial to pieds, though, so I might be biased, lol! Dreamsicle, Lightning Pied, etc.

I know that feel, I am a college student too... I can afford food for my guys and a few normal BPs that's pretty much it. >.<

On a side note how would you go about breeding for an albino pied??? I am trying to learn about breeding so I can try it out later on and I like the way that albino pied looks. How does that happen :3. I am all about the learning!

If you start with a male albino or pied and a female of the opposite, you would breed them together. The resulting offspring will carry both the albino and pied genes, they would appear to be normals. The offspring would be referred to as 100% het albino and 100% het pied. You then grow the offspring and breed them to each other. This will give you a 1 in 16 chance to produce an albino pied. These offspring could consist of normals that are 66% het albino and 66% het pied, albinos that are 66% pied, pieds that are 66% het albino, and albino pieds.

Hope this helps.

Okay cool that makes perfect sense, thanks John :).

When you breed a pied to an albino, you will get all normal looking offspring that are het for both pied and albino since both genes are recessive. To get a visual albino pied, you would have to breed two animals that carry both the albino and pied genes each. So you can breed those sibling normal double het albino pied offspring you got from the initial pairing to get albino pieds.


Here's the breakdown :

Albino x Pied = Normal het albino and het pied.

Normal het albino pied x Normal het albino pied = albino pieds, normal het pieds, normal het albinos, normal het albino pieds, normals, albinos, albino het pieds, pieds, and pieds het albino.

You can breed albino het pieds to pied het albinos or either to normal het albino pieds too.

Glad I was able to explain it clearly. :)

They hovered at $10,000-15,000 for several years there. Enough people are producing them now, and so few people can afford a $15,000 snake, I'm a bit surprised it lasted that long.

I produce 3 double het albino pieds (females) this year. next year I will be looking to buy a male albino het pied or a male pied het albino for the girls. this will up my odds.

Thanks for all the help i wanted to produce some of these guys but was wondering if i should just buy some but they are a little bit over my budget..aha

And if i happened to produce or get a male and female albino pied and breed them, would their offspring be 100% albino pied?

Sorry, one more question, would it be smarter to start out with a rack if i was going to get into breeding or just start with cages??

Yes, if you breed an Albino Pied to anything, it will be anything 100% het Albino and 100% het Pied.

Racks for the win.

Alright, so ill get racks but what is the best incubator?

WOW, im new:oops:

A homemade incubator from instructions in the DIY section of the forum. Its very effective and cost efficient.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but this albino pied female has a jack o' lantern on her. It's kind of awesome! :P I can't believe how much the price on these guys has come down!

Me and my friend were just talking about it. How we would name her pumpkin or Jackie.
