The reason for the cross was that my male albino applegate went down so I was forced to use a bull as a substitute. I wanted new blood and also just to come out with something a little different. Nothing against locale guys or line breeders, I just think PETS, which is what I sell my babies as, shouldn't have to all be the same. For example, I encourage all my friends to buy mutts from the pound, they are UNIQUE, usually have less health problems to worry about, and it saves a dog from being put down.
I am not in this hobby to sell to other breeders, or to create line bred animals similar to everyone elses. I am in it because I like snakes, and I like providing people with pets. I want to produce something because I thought of it, not because someone else told me they wanted it. If I was breeding for someone else's desires, it would be a job, not a hobby.
Don't mean to offend anyone, just wondering if the cross had been done and if the albino is allelic.
And for the record, I own about 20 or so pits, and they are ALL super friendly.
