So Confused please help

[pythontricker]

say i breed a normal ball python and an albino ball python. i will get all het albinos rite. but say i keep one or two of the het albinos untill they are of age to breed, and breed them with the female albino mother from which they where born. Would this work. I know breeding a het albino ball python and an albino ball python makes half and half albino to het. could this whole process work?

Right on that's the way to do it when you don't have a unrelated het.

yes and theyre not gonna be born with like 6 heads or something rite. cuz i hear that if humans breed with theyre mother sister brother ect. the will be all mutated and what not. this wouldn't happen to a snake then rite?

no craziness with snakes.

that's how new morphs are discovered....breeding back to parents. It works.

Most breeders use weight as a marker...

Here is our FAQ on breeding. It has links to some other great resources as well:

This is the one I really like, though- it talks about the things to keep in mind before you jump in!
