Wouldn't that be doubl het for pied albino? You should know this if you spent that kind of money for a pair!

They'd look totally normal...You'd then have to raise up them and breed the siblings back to one another and you would have a 1:16 shot at producing a Pied Albino visual...I'd say go for it...Double recessive combos are rare and when breeders do hatch them out they are rarely sold until more than a dz. are produced by them!! Good luck!!

Then the offspring from the double hets would be normal, pied 66%chance het albino, albino 66% chance het pied and pied albino.

thanks guys...

Í don´t do this for living... it´s a hobby, but I´d like to breed some of this guys.. and was wondering about what could I get breeding thes snakes... my favorites are albino and pied, so a mix of them must be great...

I think I´ll try it... but it´s going to take a long time to get an albino pied...

best wishes

To expand on this, there is a 66% chance that any given normal is het pied, a 66% chance that the normal is het albino, a 44% chance that the normal is het for both pied and albino, and an 89% chance that the normal is het for at least one of the two mutants.
