ball python het albino markers?

[MarkS]

Every single het albino I have seen has white around the aliens coming up off the belly.
Sure lots of normals have this, so it doesn't work just looking for a snake with white around the borders, but I have yet to see a het albino that doesn't show this trait...



Anyone have a 100% het albino that doesn't have the white border?

I guess that depends on what you call a white border, all of my normals have a lighter colored border around the alien heads and it's more pronounced around the belly. Here is a shot of one of my het albino girls, I don't have a belly shot but you can see that while she has a lighter color around the borders I really wouldn't call it white.

My 100% het lavender albinos have the white borders.

I have been told this by several het lav owners also.

Mark, hard to tell for sure from the photo, since it's taken from so far away, but to me those boarders look nice and white

Maybe, but in that case they don't look ANY different from any of my normals.

Is this better?

To drag this up again...

I've got a het albino female with unusually light greyish-greenish coloring. I know that some of her siblings had the same coloration, and that she's been getting lighter as she ages. It was suggested to me that the coloring may be a visual marker of the het albino gene... I didn't know that was possible, and after reading more on the subject I still don't.

Here she is:
