YAY! het albino female finally arrived!

Finally got my 100% het albino female today. The breeder had been keeping the hatchlings untill they had all eaten a few meals. I just recieved my girl and briefly checked her out and she looks good! Now lets hope in a couple years this will have been a good investment :P

Congrats! :clap: :D

Congrats, Heath! Post us some pics when you get the chance! I'd love to see her... ;)

I felt that way about a month ago when I picked up my first albino! It's thrilling, isn't it? Then, every time you feed them you get more excited cuz that's one feeding closer to breeding size, lol. I love this stuff

wow i wish i had a het albino/pastel/piebald. i bet you like this:banana:

yes definately exciting, since I could never justify spending thousands on an albino (nor would my wife be to pleased if I did) my foremost goal is to produce my own personal albino that I will keep. Anything after that is a bonus!

Congrats Heath!

I would love to buy an albino myself someday but will likely go the het route as well. In a way though, it's sort of thrilling to think of the day that an albino you actually bred from your hets pips out of it's egg. Even more satisfying then spending the cash to buy the morph outright, though a longer route to it.

Wouldn't it be nice to win a lottery and buy all the morphs we all have ever wanted...ahhhhh...dreams!

Congrats Heath! How is she settling in? About how big is she now?

EXACTLY! I think the personal reward will be worth more than the cost of an outright albino to me.

She is settling quite nicely, its only been a few days since I got her settled into her tub and I havent been bothering her. She has stayed in her hide quite a bit but if I poke in late at night or first thing in the morning I will see her out and about. I can't wait untill her first feeding with me and as said above...one closer feeding to adult hood :)

Man I want a Norm Female and Het Albino Male .

het albino males are fairly affordable. I actually purchased two so I could get a better deal. I paid $225 for two het males including shipping so that's what about $112 shipped, I tried to sell the extra male but didn't have any takers so he went into a trade deal locally.

Well tonight was feeding night and everyone has eaten with no problems. I was excited to get out the new female het as I have reluctantly let her settle in for a little over a week now. She is still so small and and a bit nippy so I didn't stress her. She took her rat pink with no problems! My last feed for the night is in progress now, my largest female is about to work down her rat.


WOO what more excitement could you ask for on a saturday night!

Congrats on the successful feeding, Tek. Feeding days are always a big deal around here, the 12 yr old and the 3 yr old just kinda stand there and watch in amazement. They're so morbid! lol

you know...I still get the same excitement EVERY time I see one of my snakes strike its meal and wrap it up as the first time I saw it. I guess it takes people like us to understand how "awesome" is it to behold such a site.

well since I seem to flooding BP.net with pics today I figured I'd update this thread as well :)

Here are some shots of my newest little girl that I started this post about:

Very nice pair Heath. Can't wait to see the day you post that your first albino is peeking out of it's egg. Congrats again on acquiring these two!

AWESOME!! Very pretty animals! I slobber and drool for an albino and the pieds, but don't have the room, OR the money to try and establish a breeding collection....


But, my biggest reason for replying to Tek's thread here is because of his pics.
Aren't you concerned that something might spook the snake & s/he'd take off????? I don't imagine they'd be as FAST as a black mambo or king cobra, but aren't you afraid you couldn't catch them if they took off??? I'm encouraged by others to let Baby slither around the livingroom, but I'd HATE to have her dash off faster than I could catch her if she got scared! :(

Thx for listening. :) LOL

Thanks Adam!!! If Baby dashes away, will you be the one to come find her???? ;) LMBO

A learning session a minute, but I can't wait for my move, getting my spare room at the right temp and getting the next two additions to our snakey family!!! Even FD was asking about breeding, eggs, and if we'd be raising Baby's babies. *BAG*:cool: Unfortunately, I don't have the setup & funds to get that deeply involved in balls. :( *sigh* Maybe some day............A pied and albino is the goal. :yes: :banana:

Congrats! BTW, they look great!

thanks!
