albino rock pythons

Is anybody working with these? It is the next rock python I would want to add to the collection. I have not been able to locate a picture, much less a breeder. Is it possible they don't exist?

it is very possible. rock pythons are not very popular on the market and not many breeders even breed African rock pythons. the only morph i know of is the patternless African rock python. In most cases albinos are WC then breed to normals then the hets are breed back to the the albinos. i don't know of any cases where a person actually produced a albino for 2 normals just as a fluke. the odds would be greatly stacked against that. but you never know.

I spoke with Bob CLark and he informed me via e:mail that the only morphs of Rock's available are:
Hypomelanistic, Patternless and pinstripe.

I dunnno about you but I trust his word on this. I to am looking to work with something new and different and rocks are one of the few things left. If het albino do exist I will halves with anybody interested on a pair
