Hi HH,

Thank you for your comment. I am raising some pure Indian pythons which I hope will breed in two more seasons. Pakistan and Southern Indian locals, the Burmese pythons are more of a fun project.

Future goal is to produce/breed high contrast orange albino's unlike what is offered today in Burmese. It may take years. At reptile show's most albino's are faded yellow even as hatchlings...or maybe as a kid I just remember they used to be more vivid??

I have compared this "normal" baby to what is offered in today's classifieds (and many internet pictures) and have realized the block-like pattern and contrast is less common in the USA than ones which are jagged and less bold in markings/color contrast. I am not sure if this is due to captive breeding OR the snakes came from different parts of S.E. Asia. ex...Thailand versus Vietnam.

I do not have the history of her, as it was a donation. The male albino, however; is from one of the orginal albino's imported and was the offspring of a het. to het. pairing twenty years ago. At the time he was $1,000 plus $1 for the plastic shoe box!

The difference of color, pattern, contrast in today's pythons for sale was a bit of a surprise, as I really have never noticed any difference until I started to pay more attention. Hopefully you can help, it's fun and Burmese kinda helped start the morph craze

Truly,
