Actually, my first litter of albinos too! I've attempted to produce them for several years. Originally, a few years back I bought, and spent a substantial amount of money on, a het for albino female (with paperwork that was magically forgotten in shipment). Two years of breeding her to my albino male and two full, healthy litters later... still no albinos. Guess I got ripped off eh? Made me want to cry, I waited so long to get to that point.
Well this time, I got some! My first albinos on Wednesday evening! No abnormalities, no premies, one unexplained death (may have gotten crushed), 12 nasty slugs, and 17 healthy, beautiful babies! I was there for the start and end... I knew it was time by the look of her and happened to be cleaning when she started. I was very lucky.
This was her first litter...
Mother was removed and fed. Babies were moved out of her cage last night, into tubs, and are doing great. I am very pleased!
Thanks for looking!

Congrats to you / When is that rev stripe pos het due ?
-----
Well, either she faked me out... or there is such a thing as reabsorbtion.
I had thought she was already gravid, then she swelled up like a football, now... nearly 2 months after that swelling, she looks pretty slender. I'm assuming that, for yet another year, she is plotting against me LOL! There is always next year...
Although, another male was allowed to start courting her heavily this last month, I am still going to assume it is a lost cause. If she did take with the new male, who is hypo het anery poss. het albino the chances of proving out the het albino on two possibles are slim to none, but given his slightly abberant pattern, the offspring would probably be very interesting. I'll keep ya' posted!

I really appreciate the great comments, you guys are really fanning my ego! Seriously though, I am so happy right now, nice to finally accomplish one of my goals! Of course, any litter is thrilling, but this one holds a lot of significance for me!

Congrats!
Congrats, Mom looks great and babies are cute as ever.
Too bad about that "Het" male you got burned on, we always have to look for the thieves and liars that move among us every day!
Be well
Joel

Congratulations on those! Glad to see you finally got some albinos...
The babies are always so cute when they are peeking up all together

Major congrats!!!
I know exactly how you feel about being conned on a het!
I bought a 'guaranteed' het from a well known breeder in the UK to mate with my albino male and have now produced 3 litters from her (in all totalling over 70 babies) and not produced a single albino.
Ive now got 2 het females that i produced myself sitting here gravid so fingers crossed i will finally see what youre seeing
Regards
I hope to feel the same way in a month or so.
