Big congrats Vaughn! :gj:

That's wonderful, Vaughn! Major congrats on proving out the possible het and on getting two lovely albino's (and to Adam for not only producing the possible hets in the first place but actually selling snakes for what they are - some folks should be taking a page from that book from what I've seen going on lately). Can't wait to see them out of the eggs.

That is awesome Big V!!!

Can't wait to see pics of them out of the eggs...

That's awesome, Vaughn! :carrot: Can't wait to see the baby pics!!

Awesome! I have two poss het albino females, I hope at least one turns out to be 100%.

Very nice! Congrats bro, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!:rockon:

great luck there vaughn, that's great!

Congratulations! It's awesome when Possible Hets. prove out! Now, not only do you have two Albinos but you have a 100% DEFINITE het. PROVEN BREEDER FEMALE! YEA!

Congrats bro!! That is some good *****!

That's tons of hard work start to finish and it's awesome to see you realize the rewards :clap:

Congrats V!

Your "master" will be proud! lmao!

Congrats Vaughn. Proving out possibles, I think is better than breeding to definite hets. It's like Christmas early.

Nice vaughn! can't wait to check out those bad boys (or girls)

Congrats you won the Ball Pythons lottery, does not get any better than that! ;)

It must be a great feeling to know you paid 66% het price for what is now a 100% het :D

Big congrats Vaughn. I look forward to seeing those babies once they're all cleaned up! :D

Congrats Vaughn!!!!

Congrats! And like....where's the rest of the pictures?!

wouldn't you know, the albinos are the last ones in the eggs!
i'd like to share some more of my story on my albino project. i usually don't go into details, but i think this may help some appreciate balls and some breeders more.

over 3 yrs. ago i went and purchased a 2.3 clutch of possible hets from adam of 8BallPythons. this was my first deal into recessive morphs. i liked and still like albinos, they pop and are bright. couldn't wait to grow these girls up and produce albinos!

a year goes by and girls are growing well. i'm ready to get an albino male. i check with adam early in the season, he hasn't hatched any yet. i get my albino male from another breeder. later that season i run into a deal on a couple adult poss. het albino girls. i get these girls in and in a few months they are acclimated and ready to breed.

my albino male is still a baby and to small to breed. one day at adam's shop, he asks me if i want to use one of his breeder albino males? of course i said yes! i asked him how much? and what are the terms? his reply was,
"we'll work it out"

so i borrow his albino and breed that season. only one of the two girls goes that season. one no eggs, the other one was all slugs!! my albino project was not going as planned and patience is a mofo!!

so this year is my 2nd year trying to breed albinos and my 3rd year raising up hets. that is why proving this girl out has been so sweet. i purchased this girl from adam, and will give him props! why? because i feel like it...

adam has helped my albino project more than i could ask for. even though the majority of my albino project investment dollars wasn't spent with him!!

that is freindship folks...

how many people/breeders go above and beyond on the daily??

I can name two that I know personally. And both are breeders who have demonstrated to me time and time again that I'm more than just $ in their pocket. One I haven't had the pleasure of buying from yet, and still they answer my endless questions, and have become a dear friend to me. Both I know that I can call at any time, day or night, and they'll be there.

I know that there are more out there, but they are in the minority for sure.

Unfortunately, jealousy is an ugly beast - and the hateful comments hurt not only their intended target, but those of us who truly care about our friends. It certainly puts them on the top of my do not buy list.

Congrats again Vaughn! You deserve it!

Its awesome to see good hard work pay off. You may have missed it last year, but it looks like karma made up for it!

Rock on!

Vaughn, there are good breeders then there are good breeders who are also good people. Most of us know who they are. :) Congrats again on your albino project, you're one of the good people and you deserve this wonderful result.

wouldn't you know, they are coming out one at a time.

vaughn

:sunny:

can't wait to see the rest!

way ta go V!!!

:carrot:

WOW that is awesome... Can I have one??? ;)

this is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me and it hasnt even happened to me!!!!!

Congrats! Personally, Poss. Hets scare the hell out me. I am glad all the time you spent raising that girl was worth while. :)

Robin

Possible hets are only scary if you don't get them from a reputable source!

Well, I am not sure why you would say that. Regardless of who you get them from, there still is a chance they won't prove out, that is why they are called possible hets. The only hets i would ever buy are 100% hets, and then the reputable breeder part definitely comes into play.

Robin

Vaughn I feel your pain,
My albino project didn't pan out last year, my female albino died, one of my hets didn't prove out(trying her again this year) and my other het didn't take. I'm hoping this season brings me some of your good luck.
I love albinos still one of the most remarkable morphs in my book.

Congrats again, glad to see you finally got some sweet albino pippers :rockon:

Sure, assuming that they are legitimate possible hets. The problem is, there are plenty of scumbags out there that would willfully sell a normal with a "possible het for X" label on it to get more money for it. And guess what? When it doesn't prove out a couple years later, the seller is covered because it's just a "possible" het.

Given that, I can count the number of people I'd buy possible hets from on one hand.
