My last clutch of albino granites yielded amazingly orange babies that just make regular albino granites almost pale in comparison. I expect this orange to hold much longer and much deeper than any other form of burmese albino orange coloration. I have kept some choice holdbacks from this clutch and hope to bring out even more blazing orange in future generations.

Looks great David... almost the same orange as Heidi!

But really, there is really no great trick to this or skill on my part involved. I put the snakes together after cooling and they breed. It's not like there's some magical knowledge or special ability on my part that somehow gets the right genes to mix. Any breeding credit is certainly due to the snakes themselves. THEY are the great breeders. I am just the guy that hands them rabbits and scoops their waste, lol.

Just thought I should point that out since all too often I read things like, "what a great breeder he is" and so on, when in fact the only thing we can do in hopes of improving our breeding is to have the best darned husbandry we can manage. Content snakes tend to want to reproduce. Other than that it's just simple temperatures to memorize or write down. Breeding is almost a no-brainer "job". But it's certainly fun.

I do hope this orange holds like Heidis. Only time will tell. But even slightly darker orange can undoubtedly lead to even darker oranges in generations to come by isolating the darkest babies and focusing on breeding that trait.

Thanks again for the nice words.
