Has a pastel albino been produced yet?

RyanT Oct 04, 2005 09:31 AM

I've seen pastel het albinos offered and considered trying to make some myself but it seems to me that they wouldn't even be that great looking. Just like a really nice albino? Any ideas/comments/pics of one if they've been made yet?

It has been done. Personally I can't see the point of it. An albino is yellow. Why bother?????

why bother to breed a yellowbelly to a yellowbelly.they are both almost normal....

BIG difference. Your derogatory comments makes no sense. Breeding two similar looking snakes together(spot to spot or yb to yb) is a fun thing to do and has produced some fantastic supers but we are not talking about that.The pastel albino has been done. The pastel albinos just look like high contrast albinos. The addition of the pastel to the albino appears to make hardly difference. Maybe in a year or two the albino/pastel colour will intensify? I just feel it's not a worthwhile project trying to put yellow into an already yellow snake. I can think of many other projects more worthy of albinos or pastels. Just my 2cents.
