Dwarf Albino Reticulated Python (Python Reticulatus)

These little guys are the result of breeding the original albino retic to a female from the dwarf population on the Indonesian island of Jampea. The f1 heterozygous animals are small, even as mature breeding adults. These snakes are smaller in size than of sexually mature animals from the mainland population. The hatchlings weigh only 50% of the weight of mainland babies.

Our breeding adults are the result of that breeding, which means we are breeding Dwarf to Dwarf. (Dwarf to me means small then.)

There are three very different looking types of albinos. The first hatchling was lavender with orange blotches dorsally with dark orange, almost reddish markings on the sides. In the second type, the lavender was replaced by a dark purple color and the orange markings were a darker, richer orange. The third type exhibited the orange markings on a clean bright white background. All three types are attractive and can be produced from the same parent animals.
