I bread a Striped Albino Rat Female with an Albino Rat male. A few days after i had the rat snakes together i threw a striped amel corn male in with the rat female. When the eggs were laid there were 7 total. 4 were big like rat snake eggs, but 3 were small like corn eggs. They started hatching yesterday and the small eggs hatched out what appeared to be amel corns (not really looking like a rat corn cross). The rest of the 4 eggs were all albino rat snakes but they looked very light coloring, like a pearl, very different from hatchling albino rat snakes. I was wondering if anyone knew how common it is for there to be 2 fathers to one female like that. Does anyone know if these albino rats are some different form of albino or just normal albinos? Thanks
