Albino Southern Pines vs Albino Northern

bakeaway Aug 20, 2014 10:55 AM

I always see albino northern pines avail. But dont see albino southerns as much? Are they more rare? Can't find them anywhere.

Thanks

Sure seems like it now huh... I know it's a little off topic but I've heard alotta albino lines of northern pines actually borrowed a southern along the way but there are true northern albinos too. I seen some southerns on Cherryville's site if that helps. I'm actually a big northern fan but when it comes to albinos I'm more interested in southern pines. I like the classic black and white jersey barrens northerns which I'm blessed to have a awesome pair of that'll be ready to go next year. Now that you brought it up id like to know where all the albino mugitus have gone lately!

I do see a few albino Southerns here and there, but like it has been said, they are rare. I have no idea why.

Here is my one female:

You are correct...I prefer also the normal black and white northerns.

Awesome snake man! On the albino pine subject I was talking with this guy at a show a while back n he was telling me that alotta albino northern pines borrowed a southern at some point so I was just wondering how true that was? I know that there are true albino northern pines also.

It could be true, as many in our hobby have demonstrated their boredom by creating hybrids, that hurt and destroy pure snake lines.

Very true! I personally am a guy that likes pure animals and I believe it's tearing up the hobby making hybrids especially cuz you hear about ppl doin tha with Louisiana pines and other rare animals. I read a long time ago this guy was putting sayi with northern getting look alike loui's so I'm looking for a pair but that story is always making me pass up an opportunity to get them.
Bakeaway that's an awesome northern for real! My female looks like that and she's huge! I could probably breed her this yr but I'm holding off 1 more yr since pine eggs are so big. She's 2 and 5 1/2' but I just feel BTR waiting til she's 3 yr old
