A good buddy of mine sent me these bulls he got from the Annaheim NARBC show this past month. I think the lids said they were Stillwater Bulls - het hypo, albino. The breeder says they could produce albinos, normals, hypos and white sides. I believe mom was a white side and dad was an albino but I'm not certain.

The female (right) does look hypo and the male (left) like a white-sided but I'm way too new to this group of snakes to fully understand what I may have here.

Thoughts from the experts?

What you have there is a whitesided, and a ghost, which is a hypo whitesided, very nice looking critters.

Not an expert on the whitesided trait but looks to me like you have a whitesided and a ghost (both hypo and whitesided)

If they are indeed het for albino, they could produce snows also.

Those both look like whitesideds to me, although the one is much lighter?

I appreciate the responses. White-side and ghost. Cool! The female cracks me up. At feeding time she grabs the fuzzy with gusto, holds it in her mouth and hisses! Hilarious.
