To make an albino?

Ok, I'd really really like an albino python, but the full blown albino females are a little much for me.

I have a normal male (1.0) right now, if I get a 100% Het albino female and breed her with my normal male what would I get?

%50 Het Albinos? Could I just keep breading them until I get 2 albinos, 1 male and one female? I'm kinda looking for an economical way to go about this.

Yea you could do it that was or just pick up a pair of Het albinos. :D

Well what happens if you get two %100 het albinos? Do they automatically make albinos, or is there just a really good chance?

They make Albinos.

Each egg would have a 1:4 chance of being albinos

Hey that's not too bad at all. One more question if you don't mind.. If the babies that come from 2 100% het albinos don't turn out to be albino, what do they become? 100% hets still or %50 or something?

If you breed 2 hets together you will end up with 25% albinos, and the rest of the clutch will all be 66% chance het for albino. I would get the pair of hets if you are planning to get the female. Females take a long time to raise up and males are so cheap right now that most breeders will give you a free or heavily discounted male het if you buy a female.

Yeah, Plus i can get 2 100% hets for the price of 1 female albino.

You can get two hets for a lot cheaper than a female albino. :gj:

You're totally right. I found some at rcreptiles for 350+50 for the male het. You know of anywhere else to go to find good prices? I've tried googling, and all the pages I get either are super expensive or half done web pages.

I won't buy from someone with a half done web site, if they don't care about the way you see them for the first time, I can only imagine how they keep their snakes.

I've never done business with them, but the Ball Boutique has '06 pairs for $450 and '07 pairs for $350.

I have a snake from RC reptiles,

Hes my only, a pastel male and i defintally got what i wanted (love his pattern, good color too). Totally smooth transaction, no problems, the snake was 100% healthy and is doing great. Id definitally Recomend Ron.

Just for another option for you, Check out:
http://crestedgecko.com/ball_python_available.htm

He has a great price on pairs, Ive talked to Garrick a few times, before i got my Pastel, he ended up selling out before i was ready to pull the trigger, but amazing customer service and quick responses, Just fauna him, all good things said.

Anyway, its much more economical then anything else really, and probably invoids inbreeding to a extent when you cross back because you dont really need to. Maybe im nieve and not used to the snake breeding scene but i would be worried to keep breeding related hets, maybe i read your post wrong.

Anyway, good luck with your project.

Yeah, I've been hanging out on his boards, ever since I puchased my first ball python. Everyone seems really happy with the service.

Is a bad idea to breed the babies to their parent's? Or do I need to sell off all the ones that aren't albinos? My goal here is to get 2 albinos that I can breed together. :-D

What you can do if you buy 1 male and 1 female het albino is breed them, keep one albino you produce (or more) and sell/trade the others, 66% hets or albinos, for an unrelated albino to keep inbreeding to a minimum. There are so many lines and so many breeders of albinos that inbreeding your own isn't necessary anymore.

I hear that Sam Mounts guy (Gecko Den) has REALLY nice hets for sale for awesome prices...check out the BP.net classifieds.:gj:
