Albino

I traded the last of my burms to Glades Herp for cherry picked female hatchling balls 15 years ago and bought a 50% chance het albino male from Bob Clark for I think it was $500 14 years ago. After quite a few mistakes, misturns, and restarts I finally hatched my first ball python morph.

So, does she look het stripe to anyone?

Congrats, Randy!

Congrats, Randy! That snake was long time in the making!

Geez Randy, that was a long project but you finally got your Albino!

Congrats!

Congrats!!! And it is a nice one at that :gj:

That is some dues paying Randy... congrats on getting an Albino using the "old school" method!! :salute: Fantastic Albino!!! PRETTY! :gj:

That's great you never gave up I like that congrats.

Well, it's about time Randy. Congrats he looks great to me. Het stripe? Sure, why not? (I really don't know :D)

Wow that is one sharp looking bino.
Patience always pays off:gj:

Congrats Randy! The Albino looks great! Is it a male or a female? Is one of the parents het/poss. het Genetic Stripe?

Thanks all!

It's a little girl.

Father was an RDR 66% chance het albino + 66% chance het stripe. Mother was a 50% chance het stripe. Of course both are now proven on the albino side. Still a little hope my 25% chance het stripe girl the same male locked up with will go to maybe test that side.

That's actually the 2nd time I've hit on such a pairing. In 2003 I bred a 66% chance het albino + 50% chance Jolliff axanthic male to a different 50% chance het albino female (happened to be a sister of this mom) and had two kinked up albinos in the only two good eggs.

I also have 3 eggs from the same possible double het stripe albino male and another 50% chance het female (a 3rd sister, a fourth failed to prove and was sold) with a couple days to go but if they hit guess it doesn't count as a threepete since he is no longer a possible het.

And I have 7 eggs to hatch late July from a 66% chance het albino + 66% chance het VPI axanthic male to a 25% chance het albino female.

Maybe next year I'll get eggs from my 66% chance het albino + 66% chance het piebald male.

See a pattern here? Some people hate the uncertainty of possible hets. Now that for sure hets are cheap most can avoid the extra risk of possible hets but when I started they where my only option. I really haven’t been particularly lucky either. On average two out of three 66% chance hets would be het anyway and so far I’ve proved two with two yet to test. Also, of my four 50% chance het albino girls I’ve proved two so far also as expected. Of course I’m hoping to break the odds with a 3rd of each and hopefully even the 4th 66% chance het male.

That's a really nice albino too, Randy!

Congrats!
That albino is gorgeous!:gj:

Awesome luck Randy, you deserve it. You definately have more patience and hopes in this whole poss het game than I do. Glad its working for you and paying off with that gorgeous little girl.

Congrats Randy. What a long road, but I know it is also the most rewarding road to take. Good luck with your other Poss Hets. I love Poss Hets (just like christmas presents everytime they drop a clutch).

Big Congrats Randy! That is an awesome little albino...Love the striped spots down the back!

Congrats Randy!
