Interesting hatchling

This little girl just hatched out on Monday.

She is the result of breeding a male albino to a possible het female. Not sure whats up with her, she has 7-8 areas where the black is washed out or gone alltogether.

Wow....very interesting looking little girl indeed! I'd be very interested in seeing how she develops as she matures!!

She is very interesting. What do the other hatchlings look like?

Out of a clutch of 6, she is the only one that looked like this.

Why wouldn't that be considered a low white pied? I saw some at the huge Chicago show two years ago that didn't have much more white on them than that snake has and they were $15K.

I would guess that it is environmental and not a "morph" but you never know. I would certainly hold her back and breed her back to her father and see what you get (in the non-albinos). It would also be interesting to see what happens if you breed the pair again next year, if you keep the female.

It is by no means a pied. Even the VERY low white pieds have patterns that cannot be mistaken.

Thats the tough part, this girl was to be shipped out as soon as she was proven to be normal. Now I'm kinda wondering what I should do with her.

Forgive me for being stupid here but the pieds I saw had patches of pure white and patches of normal color. Of course I only saw a few at that show so I'm in no way an expert on them, just asking.

Al,

I would keep the female. If you don't want her, I'll bet you could sell her for whatever you were going to get in "credit" if not more.
