>>The Darwin python is a subspecies of carpet (Morelia spilota variegata), and pure albino carpets are Darwins. The first albino carpets in Europe (M. s. variegata) were bred to Irian Jaya carpets (M. s. harrisoni) and coastal carpets (M. s. mcdowelli), producing intergrade het for albino carpet crosses. These hets produced albino intergrades in 2009 and 2010 in the US. Pure albino Darwin carpets (M. s. variegata) were produced for the first time in Europe this year by Paul Harris (UK pythons) and Olli (Precision Reptiles). There are likely no (or very few) pure Darwins (normal pattered, or albino) in the US yet (they will be here later this year). There are a handful of het and albino crosses available in the US, but these are intergrade (M. s. variegata X M. s. harrisoni or M. s. mcdowelli). Unfortunately, some of these albinos will inevitably be represented as pure M. s. variegata, which will only be available from a few individuals this year in Europe and in a few years in the US. Hope this explanation helps.

Sometimes I wanna light up underneath the no-smoking sign
Sometimes I wish they'd tell me, how justice got so blind
I wish they'd just leave me alone 'cause I'm doing alright
You can take your change on down the road and leave me here with mine

'Cause that ain't my America
That aint this country's roots
You wanna slam old Uncle Sam
But I ain't letting you
I'm mad as hell and you know I still bleed Red, White, and Blue
That ain't us
That Ain't My America
Now there's kids who can't pray in school
$100 dollar tanks of gas
I can tell you right now this country ain't
AIN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT!

NO!
