What Albino Lines Keep Thier Color Best; Pic's Please

I was wondering what line of Albino's tend to hold there color or contrast the best with age? What do you look for in hets or normals when you're trying to maximize the longevity of the color?

I'm really not sure there are differences between any particular albino line. Brighter colored parents will have brighter colored offspring and lighter colored parents will have lighter colored offspring. Thats just selective breeding, it really doesn't have anything to do with a particular line.

That's what I was trying to say, so I guess I'm asking how owns bright colored adult albino's who hold there color and where did they or their parents come from?

Well, you could always get a high contrast lavender albino.... :)

I was told a joke recently.

Q: "What do you call a high contrast albino ball python?"




A: "A hatchling."

Yes sir LOL

Msoar16 : I agree with Mark S... no particular line will be more contrasted than the next, it is all in selective breeding. About 7 years ago I started my Albino project with the goal being to produce extremely dark hatchlings in hopes of developing a group of animals that would only produce high contrast Albinos.

After the 3rd generation I'm starting to produce more Albinos like this one...

In this photo you can see that the yellow/orange areas are very dark with very bright white surrounding them. If you are looking for a nice Albino... look for these traits. Try not to look at just one either, try to look at all Albinos from the clutch/project to see if it is consistently producing these animals. I think we can get the Albino project to do some pretty amazing stuff, we just have to concentrate on a few key points! Out of over 40 Albinos that I hatched in 2006, only 2 or 3 would be what I'd consider NOT high contrast.

Baby steps in the right direction...

Thats a nice one Sean:gj:

Very nice!!

I'm working with darker lines as well. Let's see what happens! :D

I wanted to bring this topic up again. Dose anyone else have photos of their baby albino's and then photos of them being adults? I would love to see baby vs adult photos :D

If you're buying hets... even albinos as babies, ask for pictures of the parents. That'll give you the best clue as to what they'll look like as adults.

Here's my adult male. Like Sean said though, it's all about selective breeding. I have this one normal female with the blackest black and the orange-est undertone that I CAN'T WAIT to cross my albino with. I'll keep the het girls, and buy best looking unrelated albino male I can find to breed with them. Then it's all reputation after that :)
