Ok, here's my situation. I have a male reverse okeetee that is around 38", is almost 2 years old (in 2 months), and is thicker then a quarter (around the thickness for a toonie for you Canadians!). I want to pair him with my brother's albino snow corn female that is around 58" and is much thicker around (to give an idea, she eats rats).

1)is there any danger in trying to breed those two? Is he too small for her?
2)I have heard of fall breeding... is there any harm in trying?
3)are we likely to get normal albino offspring or what?

Thanks all, much appreciated!
MIKE

If she is receptive to being bred this late in the season, and he is experienced, there's no problem with him being smaller than her. 12 inches are so doesn't make that much of a difference, especially considering the male is the smaller of the two.

You could try putting them together...but don't be too disappointed if nothing happens. If your male "thinks" it's past breeding season, he won't court her. I'm in Central California and both of my males lost interest in my girls about a month ago.
