Hi.

I have no idea to say this in the right way in english.

But. Can a Kingsnake (California) save sperm from a male she was with severel years ago?

My 1.1 Albino Cali just made 3 normal & 2 albino babys..

Maybe she was with a normal male before I got them?

Question.. Can a kingsnake save sperm ?

Yes they can store viable sperm for some time. But it is also possible that your 1.1 albino cal kings could be an albino (het for lavender) and lavender (het for albino). That combo would produce albino, lavenders and normal looking in the same clutch.

actually, i think you do:

if lavender x albino produced some albinos, then the lavender must be het/albino. if you got no lavenders, then you're not yet able to draw a conclusion about whether or not the albino is het/lavender.

Not the case because an albino x normal would produce all normal looking babies that are 100% het for albino. You can/will get albinos if you breed an albino to a normal looking that is het for albino.

I am assuming from your original statement that you have (1.1) albinos?
