This little guy just went through his second shed, first one since I've had him. Looks like he is going to be a real screamer. And, to top it off, he is 100% het stripe and possibly is a striped albino--only time will tell. Hope you all enjoy the pic.

Thanks for the pic! who produced it?

He was produced by Pete Kahl. I think he is going to be an awesome adult because his saddles, all the way up to his head, are as dark as the tails of most other baby albinos. I truly beleive this is one of the best lines of albinos out there if you want color to stay as an adult. I'm also really hoping he turns out to be a striped albino. His father was a striped albino and his mother was a double het. With the stripe on his tail, it is hard to tell if he is a true stripe or just has some connecting tail saddles.

Congratulations on aquiring him! with that line,one of the accompanying,tell-tale,(or,"tail")markers seems to be the huge red lateral caudal diamonds,or,medallions,which tend to be most prominant on the homozygous animals,regardless of the degree of dorsal striping that may,or,may not be expressed. I would tend to think the results from breeding him would reflect that.just my opinion though.
