Thanks very much everyone. Next question Do they all develop yellow like the one in your website?

Country:
It will get some yellow colouration, but the amount of yellow varies quite a bit.

And just so you know, snows are Albino+Anery. The albinoism knocks out all of the black pigment and gives them the red eyes. The Anerythrism takes out the red pigment.

Congrats on your new snake!

What are the chances of young being albino or otherwise if I were to mate it?

If you bred it to an albino or an anery, the babies would be albino or anery (depending on which you bred it to).

Let's say you bred it to an albino:

All of the babies would be albino and 2/3 of them would be het anery.

It gets pretty confusing pretty quickly!
