I'm sure I was talking to you last week on the housie forum, I bought one of the 'hi-albino's' of Nik. This is why I'm after space, it's for breeding options for her. I have a patternless male but not yet sure which direction to take it in. I'll get her probed as soon as poss and let you know if you want?

sounds ok. the housie forum is a good resource,pretty much the only reliable source youll have for information if you chose to breed,

Right now im working on the lineatus ,true striped house snakes, and bringing on my albino's to full breeding potential to work out the compatability of the lines.
Gonna hold off on the zulus till later.

the patternless browns are not terribly rare but there are few patternless morphs
ive got a patternless red phase, looking to try and incorporate that into the albino lines later ,little steps,little steps.

I've found it an excellent resource. There is so little info available on these snakes. I'm sill a newbie (god I hate that phrase) but am fast learing a lot about housies and find them so interesting and fantasic to keep. I'm hooked!!!!

ive recently seen a proven breeder female amel for £55 so im guessing younger unproven would be around £40

the info was a big concern when i started with these, breeding wise trial and error was the only way forward. Gets even more complicated when you take in the hybridising issues,

keep me up to date with what ya plan to do,might not be on here for a day or to feel free to mail me. A thought, you may struggle to get an unrelated albino compatible with your snake as most albinos of THAT line seem to be of Nik's SA stock

my morphs are different ,more contrast ,were fairly certain they will be incompatible with the other albinos.

you won't get much.. probably about 50p including setup, you're best giving her away..

oooh look, you're not far from me

Nik has offerd his assistance when my girl is up to breeding age and I'm very grateful for that as I know it's a nightmare when it comes to the breeding of albino's.

I am however still looking for a female for my male L.Capensis.

With regards to the corn will let you know as soon as poss. It's a pain having to wait on someone else to sex them but I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to that.
