Hello all,

After having my albino northern ringneck snake for nearly 5 years, last year I made a deal with a professional breeder to get the snake bred. Well the plan was to hibernate the snake this year and breed her in the spring. I had "loaned" her out to the guy and he had kept her with a male northern ringneck of West Virginia locality, in hopes he would have the "albino gene" and that they may produce baby albinos instead of normal colored hets. I'm not exactly sure if that worked yet. I got the albino back about 2 weeks ago, she laid 5 good looking fertile eggs last night. She hasn't hibernated since I got her in 99'. I have them incubating at around 83 degrees and I hope they all make it.

Just curious, but about how much would hets cost? Or the albinos if any turn out to be albino.

I'm not exactly sure, albino ringnecks or het for albino ringnecks have never been sold on the pet market(with the exception of one adult albino from Glade Herps), so I think people will just have to make an offer.

Ok, I am going to make the offer of $2 for albino and $1 for hets. (joke). I know not funny.
