Too funny! (In both humor & similarity.)
How I ended up with the parents of these:
I was looking for a normal burm for my son, for his 7th B'day. Found a local ad for "Baby burmese pythons" and met up with the guy to see them. They had nice normal patterns and he only wanted $65 each. I said, "You know, I just might want to try breeding a few years from now. Let me get a M & F."
That's when the guy said, "Oh, btw, these are het for albino/labyrinth." That meant absolutely nothing to me, I just wanted normals & was morph ignorant anyway.
By the time they matured I had been thinking about breeding to see if I could get an albino since I've always kind of liked them but wouldn't part with the $ for one. So I breed for an albino. I got one, plus, 3 labs. Ha! Ha! I've got to be one of the luckiest rascals in the burm world. Ha! Ha!
When the first one hatched ("Suzie," in the 1st pic) I didn't even know what it was until I posted a pic of it here & "jmcghee" told me. Her looooonnngg neck line threw me off.
So yeah, the albino is the "cherished" one of the clan to me & my family. After all, she was what I bred 'em for.
I just thought you'd get a kick out of that story. 
Oh, btw, I've been meaning to tell you, "Quit blamin' hubby for feeding outside of the cage! Who's supposed to be the knowledgeable one in this area, you or him?" Hahahahaha!!! I know you're mostly picking at him when you say that, but us guys have to stick together, so I'm just pickin' at you. 
Have a wonderful day!
Mike
