He is VERY nice, do you have breeding plans for him ? I have a Northern Pine and an albino Bull and find them both to be such easy snakes to care for. Contrary to popular opinion, they are both also very tame and gentle - except at feeding time when all H... breaks loose, great feeders

thanks for the comments peeps,

hopefully when he's old enough (next year possibly!) i have a 7 year old female bull that I'd be looking to breed next year so fingers crossed Smile

I've seen the father of this one, he's pure white, absolutely gorgeous, so would be interesting to see what this little guy would produce.

my two are slightly different in terms of handling, the young male is a dream to handle, soft as muck! the female is OK, she will hiss a little from time to time but will settle down eventually.

Ooooh, wow. So breeding from this chap could produce hets for some very, very, lovely snakes. I bred my N. Pine and albino Bull and the resulting babies are quite unusual. Het of course for albino, but even these 1st generation babes are washed with red !! Looked up on the web and found that there are red phase Pine and Bulls.... The lad that I kept back will go in with his Mum, the albino, next year when he is two, the same age as your gorgeous wee beastie will be.

Wish that you were closer - I am in W. Sussex - 'cos then I would be really cheeky and ask to use your boy on my albino girl.. Laughing

Look forward to seeing the babes next year. Very Happy

I have posted this photo before, but cannot resist the invitation to show it again. Here is the result of mating an albino Bull with a normal Northern Pine. Also posting a photo of Mum - the albino Bull that he will be going back to. She is the one that I would like to go on a date with your gorgeous lad....!! If all works out, the babes would be 50/50 normal looking ( well, sort of ) and albino, but what colour albino ? That might sound strange, but I am sure you understand me - please, someone must understand me... Laughing

the mum is gorgeous, would love to see what my boy and your mum would produce (is it me or does that sound a tad dodgy Laughing

)
bit of trek though Sad

the bull x pine looks a big lad! what's he eating and how often?
