OK, please don't take this wrong, but here's some advice. You currently have a 100% Het Albino male. Your new snake is a possible Het Hypo and even less possible Het pied. Say you buy a Het Hypo female like you mentioned, take the time to raise her up, then breed your possible Het Hypo to her resulting in all normal looking snakes. You have no way of knowing if you just missed on the Het X Het odds or if your boy simply isn't Het for Hypo. Now you have to hold back all the females, raise them up and breed them back to the male to try and prove him out. Meanwhile if he is a normal you are going to wind up with even more possible Hets with no way of knowing whats Het and what isn't. In the end you could wind up with 2 or 3 racks full of possible Hets pulling your hair out.Originally Posted by Monty
What would probably be a better idea is to build on the fact that you have a 100% Het Albino male, invest in a 100% Het Albino female instead of the 100% Het Hypo female you mentioned. Raise her up to breed to the Het Albino male, hope to get an albino or three out of that pair then trade, or sell an Albino and buy a visual Hypo girl if you are still intent on proving out your possible Het. Hypo male. At least then you would be sure that the offspring would at a minimum be all 100% Het hypos. That at least lessens the pain and frustration if your boy proves to be just a normal.If I lost you at all in my ramblings let me know and I'll try and clear it up for you.
