This forum has really stagnated. Let's shake things up with some pictures!! Here's my big het from Mike Wilbanks,...

Meet "Heather" (affectionately refered to as "Hell-ther" due to her disposition) She is pictured here with one of the male albinos she was bred with this year. The male is about 11 feet and Hellther is easily 17 or 18 feet, though I don't ever measure her. I try to keep her stress to a minimum and so I never handle her. I have her cage connected to another large cage with a connecting door so that she can go from side to side and I can close off the door to clean one side or the other.

She is in the middle of shedding here and note how truly beautiful her neck is in comparison with where the shed still remains. Mike truly gave me a stunningly beautiful snake for a great price. She is 100% het albino and will of course have 50/50 albinos and 100% hets.

Let me know what you think and I'll post some pics of some of my female tigers too.

You'll be getting some second picks from her (Sorry bro, I gotta take first picks, it's just policy)

Beautiful snake. I'm a big fan of the abberant-necked retics.

I received a large female het in a trade last October that originally came from Bob Clark. At that time she was around 9.5', and now I'm guessing she's a bit closer to 10'. She came from Jim Mason, and he got a gorgeous pair of southern scrubs for her. She was represented by him as being fairly aggressive, and he was right! She is the squirmiest python I've ever handled outside of the cage, has no qualms whatsoever about letting loose and debowling all over you, and if all that fails, she resorts to biting very soon thereafter. I've been trying to handle her a bit to calm her down, and though it has worked to some degree, she remains incredibly defensive. But that's fine with me, because she'll produce some incredible babies (I hope) in the near future. Best of luck with yours.

Thanks Brian. The white phase is a 10ft female and the male that Jay has for sale may be the father. Im not posotive on that but, I know sire was a white phase. She is also a sibling to the origional albino tigers.
