these snow projects was for not too much money, but willing to work and breed the snakes you could get a white snake, albinos, and axanthics along the way. I love the idea that you could start with a het albino and het axanthic and just see how long it took you. Slowly but surely you would build up your colony and along the way-the worst you were making was a bunch of nice normal breeder females. I do lots of possible hets and I'm always amazed how lucky I have been with them.
Last year I bred TWO possible double het male (vpipossaxanthic x 100% albino) to two female vpi het axanthics. BOTH males turned out to be double hets and I made NINE -9- axanthic poss albinos from 15 eggs!! Now if I take those snakes and hit on them being het for axanthic-1 out of 4 babies from them could be a snow! Or if I hit on one male being het for albino-any het albino female or albino female I breed it to-the albino babies will be 100% het for axanthic-true het snows.
Slowly but surely I'm working my way-I have had THREE of my customers make snows-breeding double het to double het and I haven't yet-because I've been doing it the slower possible het way-but when I start making the first ones-I'll have my female poss hets-soon hopefully proven ready to go!!!
