New Beautiful Male het Albino BCC (Pics)

Hey guys... so just wanted to show you guys my new addition to my family :P I'm new to the forum but not to owning snakes. ATM I only have the one snake I just got 4 days ago, a male het albino BCC, 1 yr old about 34" long. I find he was a bit underfed at his previous owners because his ribs and spine stick out... if he were to ever get sick or refuse to eat because of a seasonal change he would be end up being dangerously skinny imo. So, I'm working on beefing him up at the moment. But here he is :P His name is Red.

His beautiful tail patterning!

And this guy pictured below is Banjo. He was my BCI I had years ago. I ended up selling him because he went off f/t rats out of no where and I cannot feed live rats, I'm too much of a softy to do that I think lol So sold him to a guy who was willing to feed him live. He was a big puppy dog! He hit about 5 feet before I had to sell him

Not that I know of and tbh why would anybody want an albino? Normal BCC's are perfect as it is.

I would advise against this. Misrepresentation is the main reason the purists say not to do these types of crosses. It takes no extra effort to label it correctly and will avoid confusion and all the question you are likely to receive which will lead you to end up explaining exactly what it is anyway.

Though it looks nice I'd still prefer the normal bcc's.

I think I'd rather have a albino bci then an albino bcc lol

Re: New Beautiful Male het Albino BCC (Pics)

Ya... I didn't know that a het albino has to be a cross to BCI? Is there no albino BCC's? Looking at him he looks like a pure BCC to me... he's got the proper BCC saddle peaks and everything. I don't know how the genetics work for these guys. lol I was told he was a pure BCC het albino.

I got him from a guy on Kijiji.ca. He needed to thin out his collection... it wasn't from a breeder or anything.
