I know that a lot of breeders are against hybrid breeding, but I think that some very lovely and interesting snakes can be born from a hybrid mating. As long as the breeder is totally honest about the parentage of their stock, I see no problem, it is up to the buyer to decide if they want a lovely new snake.

Attached is a photo of one of this years babies from a mating between an albino Bull female and a normal Northern Pine male. The PinBull is only two weeks old and has already eaten twice, and is about 18" long. It is of course 100% het for albino.

Last year I kept back a male who will be put to the albino Bull female next year to produce 50% albinos from the hoped for clutch.

This years hatch lings will be going onto the Forum to look for new homes who will appreciate a robust snake that will make about 6+' long and has unique and lovely markings.

Thankyou for your encouraging comment. You would be most welcome to re-home one of the babes - if you had two you could breed them to get 25% albino...!! Very Happy

I do soooo enjoy my snakes, and breeding for albino is such fun. I am in S.E. England, fairly near to Gatwick Airport. The advert is on the Classified site.

Hi Stuart, you ask if they have the temperament of Bulls, well my female Bull - all 6' of her - is the daftest, sweetest snake. Even when feeding she takes the food from the tongs gently. Most of the youngsters seem to be fine, one or two are throwing their toys out of the pram still, but with gentle handling they will calm down, they are only two weeks old.
