I bred a pair of double het annectans last year, both parents from hypo/albino parents. I got 3 albino, 7 normal babies and this one, not sure what it is.

Great color on that snake. I'm no expert on morphs, but it looks like a few albinos I've seen. Maybe you could post pics in comparison w/ its sibs.

Looks like a T positive albino to me.

Maybe the parents were het for both Tnegative and Tpositive forms of albino.

This is the granffather of the snake above. Some people are calling it a t albino. I call it an extreme hypomelanistic. if it has black I don't consider it an albino.both grandparents can be seen on the link below.

As an aside, if anyone knows of somewhere that will do an inexpensive tyrosinase test, let me know. I have a couple animals I want tested but I can't find anyplace to do it.

Anyway, if one were to cross a t with a t-, would not they cancel each other out? In a couple years I'll back breed some of the grandchildren to see what happens.

the grandparents

I would say its a t or t hybino.Makes since right?
Anyway, the grandparents look like a applegate on top then a t on the bottom.Did you get all albinos from the grandparents when they were bred together? I would think you would get all normals that are double het for amel and t or hypo?

Shannon, the original breeding produced only hets, as did subsequent breedings.

that's a hypo alright. Looks sort of like a Dyer hypo but also similar to a Klumpers hypo... Take a look at Jason Nelson's site (envy reptiles)for some photos of both of the above mentioned lines...

Good luck them.
