Who owns the albino carpet? I've seen atleast 3 people selling hets and all 3 people have pics of the same albino.

Being that hets are in the 15k range.. I can't imagine too many people working with them.. They sure are bad to the bone though.. I heard a rumor that double hets for snow were produced in 07 and in 08.. Tell me that ain't a killer project to be in on..:rockon:

i know urban does but didnt know precision had albinos. urban pythons were the first to hatch them i believe and if precision has them then they had to come from urban. as far as i am aware urban only sold there hets but i guess they could have did a back door sale or trade on some of the albinos. i know a while back urban had a pair of albinos i think they were going to sell for around 30k but didnt know if they sold the pair or not.

According to Urban's website, they got their's from Precision.

Precison reptile and Urbun Python have a joint project and that is the Albino DARWIN carpet python. Urban Python, doesn't have any Homo ALbino's All that were produced and sold were het's almost all of them mutts already. Ij blood and Coastal blood in them. Matter of Fact Precison Reptile breed them ALL and Craig just imported them, although he owns half the project.

The other person selling here in the states is Henric Afors of Sweden, He has some het's and has a partner selling them for him, I forgot his name, Eric I think. There are a few other breeders in Europe that have visual homo Albinos and none are in the US. NOT YET!

However, you wil see an explosion of Hets and Albinos this spring and fall, you watch and mark my word!

Cheers

Precision Reptiles is partnered with Urban Python on the albino project, they bought the animal together. Both of them are selling hets from the animal, they were sired from the same male.

I believe that Paul Harris at UK Pythons is also working with Albino darwins...so there are a few people out there, Urban is the closest with the others being overseas.

Actually...there are het's here in the states and they have been breeding.
Now, that doesn't mean anything but, we have a shot at having them this year.... in the states.

Those are neat looking snakes and all, and maybe it's just me, but I think a screaming black and yellow jungle is far prettier.
Personally I'd rather have something like this any day http://www.selectiveorigins.com/Jr5-7-06.jpg

They're sort of like the albino blackheads to me, nice looking, just not an improvement on the overall appearance.

There is a pair of Homo albinos floating in the states, not sure who won the bid though.. I was asked to bid and did, but they went pretty high... There are more albinos in Euro than people think too, one guy has 2.2 and produced a crap load of hets last year as the females we not ready.

although id love to have a pair of albinos i must agree with clay. that jcp he has pictured is stunning. that has to be a trophy jungle for sure.
