I have seen a bateater and a burm rock cross but is there a retic rock python cross? Has there ever been an albino rock python? Can you breed an albino burm with a rock python and keep breeding its offspring back to rocks producing an albino rock cause it has the albino trait from the albino burm?

I see no reason why it should not work. The albino genes can appear by volunteer mutation in the wild or simply by breeding it in. Creander has a picture of a snake that they came across and call it "a weird new albino burm" (it's in his site www.pythonmolurus.com ). I could be wrong but, the more i look at it, the more the snake looks like a rock python to me and not a burm. Or maybe it's some cross, i don't know. Check it out.

The pictures are too small to tell for sure, but this burm looks just like several we have at the refuge where I volunteer. That's just what albino burms look like after a few years in an outdoor enclosure... They like to sun themselves, and sunlight seems to fade the pattern on their back.

a friend I have is working on this exact project. Neither one of us have ever heard of any wild caught albino rocks so she is in the process of breeding a rock with an albino burm and the probably line breeding the offspring. once she gets albino's she will then breed them back to rocks until the burm traits are recessed enough to say that they are albino rocks. SHe is just starting so she has many years to go before it is a success but hopefully all goes well for her. TOdd

Has there been a rock retic cross? I know there are burm retic crosses and since rocks are similar to burms has anyone herd of it being breed to a retic?
