Last year was my first attempt to breed snakes, needless to say I let 95 eggs dry up because I used an airy bird egg incubator, lesson learned here is my first success of the year.

The sire was sold to me as an "albino apricot pueblan milk snake" I later found out that the albino had to have came from a different lampro (ruthveni or nelsoni).

The dam is grey green leonis phase pure thayeri (as far as I can tell).

She laid 17 eggs, I massaged 2 duds out a couple days later, 11 made it and here they are:

Nice. I am working on a project with similar looking first generation offspring. I have bred an extremely bright orange thayeri to an exceptional albino ruthveni. I believe steve osbourne termed these pastel kingsnakes. Anyway, breed those new babies to another albino ruthveni and babies should be awesome.

I already sold 6 of the eleven, I hope out of the four there is a pair, they were incubated at 82 degrees with infrequent lows of 79 and highs of 84 so according to the books I should have a good ratio of males and females, we'll see!

I have 5 left I mean (LOL)

Keep an eye out I'll be posting my licorice blk rat x bairds clutch next in a week or two.

Good news I got a job at a local pet store that actually deals in fine snakes

Nice offspring!
Not to get off topic, but I didn't think temperature in incubation had an influence on snake gender like it does with leopard geckos, for example.

Cool babies. The albino apricot looks more like it was crossed with a nelsons milksnake, imo.

Thanks I was hoping someone would give their opinion on what lampro his albino came from!
