The issue with doing this is you end up with a bunch of possible het males by the time it is done! If you want to make your own albino through breeding just fork out the money and get a male and female het. Ultimately speaking though if your goal is to have an Albino as a pet you are better off to just buy an Albino. By the time you raise up hets to the right size for breeding you will have a significant amount of time and money invested. You figure if you buy 2 baby hets you will spend at least 2 dollars a week each for food. That comes up to $4.00 per week for food alone. Total of $208.00 a year. In general you are looking at a minimum of 2 years before you have eggs to incubate. Now we are up to $416. The het male and female "babies" together may have cost you $250 to $300 so on the low end you are already up to $666.00. Now we have not even got into the cost of bedding and multiple enclosures, multiple water dishes, Oh did we have to take either of them to the Vet? (All our snakes that have been purchased are given an appointment with the Vet in the afternoon of the day they arrive or the next day at the latest.) You easily end up with over $1500.00 invested in a pair of hets to make your first Albino. When you could go out and just buy the Albino for around $700 and set him up nice for another $300.Originally Posted by Beardedragon
Does any of this make sense?
