Sounds like you have a good little group. If your females are up to size I say go for it. There is nothing like producing your own little hoggies, even if they are just nice normals. You could pair that hypo male up with one of your females, and you are correct you will get visual normals (wild type) that are double het for albino and hypo. The hybinos are pretty sweet, so that might be a worth while project for you depending on the direction you want to go, and of coarse what you like. You should post some pics of your guys let us check them out.

Also females can be bred at the 150 gram mark. There is a thread detailing breeding smaller females from over this past summer (I think Gregg posted it), but I would not recommend it. Smaller females can quickly become egg bound, and its best to hold off on that til you have some years of colubrid breeding under your belt. They grow so darn fast though, if you are going to breed the at 150 grams you might as well wait til they are 250 because you can get them there in a few months at that point. Anyway good luck
Will
