Sounds like a plan. If the breeding turns out well, then you'll have your answer. At least, you'll have the answer for your pair. I'm sure results will differ from one pairing to another.

If it doesn't.... Then just don't repeat the breeding.

That's really the best you can do. Since nobody really has done any extensive breedings with the one/no eye Albinos, it's really hard to know for sure if and/or how often the defect will be passed on.

I've seen a few different snakes born with one or no eyes. "None" of them had the "albino gene" in the mix. I've seen burmese pythons, kingsnakes, cornsnakes, and 2 ball pythons with either 1 or both eyes missing. Of course, these are all egg layers. It could be the missing eyes was a temperature problem during incubation.

Since, in reality, "all" albinos are related.... It's really impossible to get unrelated pairs. OK, all Kahls are related to each other and all Sharps are related to each other. So, within each strain, "all" albinos are related to each other.

I hope you get a GREAT LITTER from your pair.
