I agree!,......this seems like one of those strange genetic anomoly deals where the rules were tossed out the window!

I would also do as you stated, and this will also take several years of course, but I'd find an absolutely normal Black Rat(het for nothing) to breed it to first,....then breed the offspring back to each other, and also back to the mutant parent. This way, you won't have any weird recessive gene(s) to corrupt the results in your quest to produce more of the same.

If by chance your mutant snake is a male,....you could also try breeding it to a "normal" albino, etc...to see if it might be compatible with the known type(s) or not.

In any case, that's a VERY interesting snake!,.....and I certainly wouldn't mind having that one in my collection!..LOL!


Good luck with the future breedings!
