Caramel Albino Royals

In my copy of The Complete Ball Python By Kevin McCurly it says that a pair of 100% het CA Royals may not always be compatible.

Does this mean that I could spend £600-£700 on a pair and never get visual offspring?

yes and no . If you were to buy a pair i would say it might be o.k as they are probley related some how ( haf bother/sister etc ). It is when you buy from two diffrent breeders you my have problems.

There are numerous morphs in which their lineage is not compatible. Take the Axanthic for example, The VPI Line and the SnakeKeeper Line are not compatible with eachother, therefore you would have to pick a lineage and stick to it.

It would be the same for the Caramel Albino's

so if I got a pair from Bob Clark they would have more chance of being compatible than if I got a male and female from seperate sources?

If you got both from Bob Clark (Providing they arrive) then I presume they would be siblings, and therefore compatible with eachother. When buying recessive royals you should always try to match up lineage, just to be on the safe side.

I'd love Caramel Albino's myself, but I don't have the money for them! And they, along with Pieds, are holding their value very well!

If the C.A's are what you want, ask around different breeders etc. and see where you can get a pair, unrelated if possible.

Dan and Colette Sutherland at snakekeeper.com v3.07b are very highly recommended by me.

(Although I'm not sure they do Caramel Albino's!)

cheers for the link, good website had a quick look.

I don't think they have CA's there, I cant see any on the website.
