    The big thing to consider is Albino is recessive so if you get an albino male to breed to her all you're going to produce are normals that are het albino (no visual albinos). If you breed her with a spider (dominant gene) half the babies should be spiders while the other half will be normals.
    Cheers, Jeff

    Albino spider. Problem solved!

    Throwing in albino will make it a multi-generational project, since your girl isn't het for albino (I'm assuming), since all the babies will come out looking normal (but het for albino!).

    You beat me to it. Albino spider would make you both happy in the long run.

    A local reptile show is usually a good bet. Reptiles by Mack has Albino Spiders, the reptile report marketplace is usually a good place to look, and I have heard good things about kingsnake classified and fauna classifieds. There are tons of places to look.

    Wow that's a good price for that snake. I'd grab that one myself if I didn't already have enough snakes to keep me busy for the next few years...
