Please do not even start the whole mutt argument. I just picked up a trio of adult colombianXargentine poss het for albino, and I am really impressed with their coloration, I had seen lots of babies, and I did not care for them, but these adults are really nice and I would just like to see a few others. They were part of a collection I bought out, and I told him I did not even want them, til I saw them.If I could see a few others I would appreciate it(I will get pics of these up in a day or two). Thanks in advance. Craig

Here's a few that Dan Ebby raised this season.I'm trying to decide which direction to take these... breed them together or work them into an albino? I only have one that is very pink, she would be the one for albinos. The rest are a very steel gray, not ideal for an albino project. Would only produce a very yellow specimen. I would be interested on any developements with your group, ie what kind of albino would they produce?

I'll probably get flamed for this...

This is the only one with a considerable amount of pink, doesn't show in the photo well, all that black.

YOU CAN'T SEE IT IN THE PIC BUT SHE ALSO HAS THE LOWER HALF OF HER TAIL STRIPED. THAT MIXED WITH THE COLOR MAKES HER A AWESOME SNAKE, TO ME ATLEAST.

I haven't done this cross for a few years,but tried it a few years ago. It led to some fun discussions(and I mean that ,I thought it was a ball).They were really pretty little suckers.They were the result of a beautiful male Argentine and a Golden Columbian female.I sold them for the same price I sold baby Boas and a little less than I sold baby Argentines.They looked nothing like either,so I didn't feel that they might be misrepresented down the line.

I did it one more year with a different pair and they weren't especially attractive and could have been misrepresented down the line,so I didn't do it again.I still have some pics in the photo album that I will post.

Actually,there was one more
litter that was a breeding mistake while I was on vacation.My son stuck a pair together.I ddn't know what I had at first,so this led to my selling my Argentine stock.

This was a preety critter.

I still have not really seen any that look like the ones I got. Like I said I will have pics in a few days. Those are some really nice snakes you folks have posted. Thanks again. Craig
