Pretty! I SO wish the lighter top was White,Lavender,Purple. But I see a little Lav/Purp influence in that head stripe. So is that the only way to tell color phase? A little head stripe? NICE SNAKE!

This animal is a very reduced pattern expression of the titanium trait, so obviously due to that there is less black (which is what turns into white, lavender or purple), this animal does have some flecking along the sides (between the lateral and dorsal break) this flecking would normally be black, but in the albino it is flecks of lavender. This is really subtle at this point but looks (and juding from the non-albino titaniums, of similar pattern type) should increase with age and size into something really extraordinary.

Also considering the variability of the titanium expression, the animals with strong black pattern should show the most white, lavender or purple contrast. I expect this combo to be extremely variable (think sunglow boa variability).

Take care,

They're doing great. The purple male is really putting some size on. I think he must have grown a few inches in the 1st month!! Can't wait for them to reach breeding age!
Also, saving up for some ball pythons & racks right now, so I'll keep in touch as my funds become sufficient. Thanks again!
