In my first post I should have been more clear about my burmese pythons and rats.

My burmese pythons (1/2 brother/sister) had the same "albino labyrinth" father but different "normal burmese" mothers. The 2 I've got are normals but the male has albino labyrinth characteristics. I didn't buy them for breeding purposes, I just wanted two of them. Over the years I decided to try breeding them because I'd like to have an albino.

The rats I started out with I went to extreme measures to ensure good breeding stock by traveling as much as 100 miles, in several directions, to avoid them coming from the same supplier. I've line-bred ever since. Evidently everything has paid off because I've not had the first health problem (genetic, sneezing, mites, etc...) with any of my rats in the 2 yrs. I've been breeding/raising them.

Have a good one!
Mike
