Then you should have gotten 25% albinos. Either,.. one of the snakes is normal, or both are. You got taken. Sorry man,. it happens. You think that's bad, I paid many thousands for a trio of albino retics and found out only after they had matured that I had gotten 2 males and only one female. Same thing happened with my patternless rocks. A "pair" turned out to be 2 males. So $#! does happen. I never make sexing mistakes,.. but some do I suppose. Either way I will be fine and watch out world. The way I see it I am only set back maybe a year from things like that. Just don't ever trust ANYONE when they tell you what you are getting. Check it each and every time! Do you think that the guy that sold you the snakes knew they were normals? Or do you think maybe he/she was misled by whomever they got them from?
