What do you get when you breed an Albino Patternless California Kingsnake to a Lavender Albino CK?
Well for starters you get no Albinos as they are not the same strain, but the "normals" that are het for both strains of albinoism are not quite normals.
They have a Coastal look to them but are somewhat purplish in color as well.
The long term goal is to breed siblings back to one another to hopefully get you guessed it a patternless Lavender Albino CK, an all purple snake with ruby red eyes.
I have a group of 3.2 of them (the entire clutch) but the girls were twins & are still fairly small due to such. I don't think they are ever going to be big snakes & have already written the smaller of the 2 off in reguards to ever being a breeder DOH!
I hope to maybe try the one later this season or more likely next season?
Anyway folks have asked me in the past to post pics & I don't think I ever have?
Anyhow here goes, Mark
Not the best but you can sort of see to what I refer...
