could it happen?

I was talking to a guy yesterday, and he said he had a het albino female that threw 31 albino babies in the spring of 2010. I know in genetics anything is probably possible, but has anyone ever heard of this happening before?

Was the litter only 31 babies?

he bred an albino male x het albino female and said all 31 babies were albinos.

That sounds crazy to me. I'm not calling anyone a liar, but I'd have a hard time accepting that as truth without some hard evidence, unless it were someone like Pete Kahl. lol And if I ever DO have such luck, you can expect to see a butt-load of pics of that normal dam sitting atop all those albino babies!!!

I kind of have my doubts about it, but you never know. I'm curious as well.

I'm extremely skeptical, but with genetics, I'm not making any definite statements of what is, and what is not. I'd like to hear more, too.

If there were not 31 snakes in the litter, it would be easier to believe. I mean with balls, its not unheard of to breed visual x het and get all normals, or all visuals...but you're only talking about an average size clutch of about 5-6 eggs.

LOL...Always makes it harder to believe, if what they stand to gain from your trust causes you to lose out!
