Came home to this little bugger. It almost looks like a toffee so far (wishful thinking LOL)

About to start slicing these bad boys (hopefully girls ) in a minute.

i got the oppurtunity to sell three of my babies i wasnt planning on keeping and i said no..... i couldnt do it, lol. i found a way to work them into my breeding plans

It looks like two albinos and three hets. One of the albinos picked up the sires wicked pattern. They are trying to get out of those eggs quick as you can see from the one mutilated egg.

Thanks!!

Whooo HOOOO! Don't ya just love it?

BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL i love them. i want them

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing the pics. I still get just as excited now as I did with the very first egg hatching. The albino is beautiful!

That's got to be the coolest thing ever. I can't wait till I have my first clutch

thats so insanely awesome!! congrats congrats congrats!!!!! i am so excited for you, lol. i cant wait for my own babies!!!! snake babies that is....

Thanks everyone!!! A few came out of the egg this morning and I'm going to take a couple more pics when I get home.

I cant wait for babies too!!!

I dont know whats worse waiting for the eggs or waiting for them to hatch.

Waiting to sex them

So exciting Nick.. I can't wait for my own lol

Pretty little babies! I love albinos.

Congrats Nick! I'm so jealous!

I slacked off yesterday, but everyone was out by early Saturday morning. Here they are all cleaned up. Looks like I may have a low contrast and a 1.4 mix

Really nice looking snakes! What's the difference between the low contrast and the others? I'm slowly but surely trying to become educated on the different bp morphs.

They are a faded version of the bright orange ones, high contrast. Here's a good example:

you make beautiful babies nick

Thanks for the links Nick. That's really interesting about the faded/low contrast. Awesome pics again!

The links were interesting...got mired down in forum posts for a while. I like the high contrast snakes better, but they are both very nice.

Yup, there's definitely something to appreciate about the both of them. The faded ones seem to wash the white out more, so when you have an albino combo with a reduced pattern morph, like spider, you wash out what little white there is and it's almost solid yellow looking. The high contrast would make that pattern stick out more and contrast the white. Mmmm.

Ah yes the albino spiders are very pretty. I have a VPI Axanthic ball python, so I am considering a snow project in the future. I have even seen albinos het for vpi axanthic that do not cost too much. I know the project will take years, but I have my whole life ahead! haha!

Now the main question is what does Nick plan to do with his albinos?

I'm torn between projects. I really wanted to do the albino cinnabees or albino spinners next year but the toffee/toffino projects look even more promising. Either way, I need plenty of female albino stock

I'm thinking about giving the male het albino away in a drawing. They are so hard to sell LOL

I can imagine! I'm trying to sell a male het VPI axanthic. There's no demand, really. : P I may just have to sell him as a 40 dollar normal.

Toffees are soooo pretty. I like most albino variations anyway. I wish the lavender albinos weren't so expensive.

Yeah I agree on the lav's. There just isn't that much visual appeal to me that would justify the price and that's probably the only reason I haven't even tried. Heck, a pair of hets cost as much as a pair of visual regular albinos!!
