It could just be the angle but it looks like your burm has some distinctive lateral folds indicating a possibly undernourished or underfed burm. Although many captive burms are obese, you also don't want an overly thin burm and your's looks a little thin. So, before finding a mate, re-evaluate your feeding schedule and get that snake into optimal condition before breeding. Personally, I wouldn't breed the burm to any large constrictor including a burm....we've got enough unwanted burms in this world and there's really no market for "mutts".

thats exactly what I thought. That snake is way too thin.

Thats nothing a rabbit of 2 cant fix.

I'd say that either a rock or a retic would be best. We have had no difficulty in marketing our hybrid het albinos and albino hybrids for really respectable prices. Yours would be either bateaters het albino or rock/burm hybrids het albino. In either case the babies will sell for over 1k each. Hybrids are becoming more popular every day. Most especially the very beautiful ones, such as the two above combinations make.

Hybrids shouldnt be allowed... people only do it for the monetary value... When a man made hybrid is created the potential for killing the gene pool is tremendous.. the careless breeder sells one off.. to another careless and so on and so on until the hybrid finally is sold as a full blooded burm or retic... then that snake is bred as a "pure blood" polluting the gene pool... in the industry it can happen very fast ...

as far as hybrids go ... thumbs down , way down.. its just not natural unless it happens on its own in the wild

Money isnt everything guys !
