I respect your opinion/position on the rock/retic issue and who produced them first. But seriously, just because they didn't live doesn't mean he didn't successfully breed the adults and successfully produce the fully developed hybrid offspring. Those amazing babies were produced whether they lived or not and nobody can take that basic, unchangeable fact away from Moe. He showed that it could be done and that means a lot.

Neither of the snakes in that breeding were het for albino. Both were wild caught specimens. The female was/is a calico retic and the male a normal rock. That's what makes the presence of the albino baby so fascinating. You never know what you can get in hybrid breedings. I have had many surprises over the years but nothing quite this severe.

Here's a hybrid double het for albino and granite. She's one of our personal holdbacks being raised to be a breeder in the near future. Her name is "Golden Girl". She and all her het siblings become more gold and yellow with every shed. We have no idea how far this will go or how long it will last but we have visions of very yellow hybrids with sharp, crisp black outlines.
