Thanks for your compliments! I plan to breed her to a male purpleconda 100% het albino next spring, and I have high hopes for the offspring. (I'd gladly sell you one. )

I think the conda gene has a lightening effect in addition to the pattern effect, and that is why it is difficult to produce that dark, dark look of a true purple.

I've seen a bunch of purple babies, but the one's I've raised up have all turned light.

This male is pretty purple:


Can't wait to see her babies. I hate having to wait.

Dan
