You can't get an albino by breeding anything to a normal though???

Exactly why he was so excited. He expected hets and his "normal" turned out to be a het. somehow. WC females sometimes carry the gene and are sold as normals because there is no way to tell.

This man bred his albino to a normal that just so happened to be a het or some sort. This like this happen sometimes its all luck. This man was lucky enough to pick out a normal snake raise and breed it and be lucky enough to have the genes to produce an albino. How do you think albinos popped out. Two normal being bred togeather and throwing out this unusual morph. Thats how almost every single morph cam to be. The product of two totally normal parents.

Stuff like this happens....and it surly is a blessin when it does

Hi, Krystal and Mike are correct. But Mike, it was a Het Male who is the Father and not an Albino. So I was Very, Very surprised!!!
When I saw the 1st one I yelled so loud that my wife thought I got crushed by my Female Blood. It happens around once a yr. LOL. My cousin,my son and my wife all came running.
I'm still in shock but I'm getting better.
I have another clutch hatching today. HMMM?
No, I'm not greedy. I'll be happy with two healthy and eating Albinos.
I forgot to thank Kavi, Sonny and Slammer.Thank You.
Take Care, Rob RK Konstrictors

Hi, I'm keeping the first one. He's a boy and his name is Miracle. The other one bites too much at this time to sex, but I will probably sell it. I have 3 clutches of 50%ers from last year. Same Dad. I have two more this year from him. Plus the 2 Albinos and 3 66%ers. I don't part with my kids easily but I think it is time to sell some to good homes.
Thanks, Rob

How much for a female 66%er?? if there is one.
