The answer you’re probably looking for is another milk that is derived from the same albino line so that you’ll get more albinos but I’m going on the assumption that you haven’t thought this breeding thing through as evidenced by the fact that you bought “a” snake and now are asking such a basic question. You’re likely to catch a lot of cr*p here because you’re working with a hybrid but I’m going to take a different perspective, why breed it at all regardless of its hybrid status? Have you considered the implications of having to start and responsibly move the resulting offspring? The last thing this hobby needs is increased participation on the breeding side particularly by someone who hasn’t though it out. There is nothing wrong with just keeping a few snakes. Breeding them is not a prerequisite for being a herper.

Hope I didn’t come across as to harsh but even those animals produced in well-conceived programs are difficult to move in this economy. MOST people don’t breed cats or dogs willie nillie because they feel they have an ethical responsibility to see that the animals they have a hand in bringing into this world are placed in good homes. I’m increasingly asking myself why those who profess to love them do not afford reptiles the same level of respect.
