Re: Goodness arrived from Fed Ex this morning!

Its not a pure SD, there are no pure SD albinos. It can't happen because albino is not a superdwarf gene, its not even a dwarf gene.

Hopefully he's a dwarf, if that's what you were expecting. It would really suck to order a 7 foot snake and get a 17-27 foot snake lol

Re: Goodness arrived from Fed Ex this morning!

You might want to ask Bob again then because I 100% guarantee you that you can not have a 100% pure SD that is het for albino.
Definitely won't hit 17ft either, males almost never get that big to begin with, then you add in the SD blood (its there, the color and pattern are spot on for a cross) and it'll stay small. I would venture under 10ft is a safe bet, although without knowing the exact parentage I can't say.

Vitalexotics told me that most of retics, even the mainlands,typically don't get bigger than 10 feet or something (can't remember the exact number he said) Edit: I mean males ofcourse ...

Travis kubes did just have a clutch of 100% pure SD's hatch out. I asked because I wasn't aware there was het albino pure sds...

You should probably just send him to me for free, and get a 100% SD. You can't be too careful, and we have to think about whats best for you and the future of the snake. I'm willing to take him off your hands no charge because you never know, he could be an 18 footer in a few years...(disclaimer: I'm joking).

Travis lives 2 hours from me, I was 1 week too early to be there when he cut that clutch... You have no idea how disappointed I was when he told me they pipped 5 days after I was there and I was out of town that weekend.

Haha, that sucks. I haven't ever seen a pure SD hatchling out of the egg, how small are they inch wise? Do you know how much longer till he starts shipping them out ?
