So a local girl and myself have decided to do a few joint projects for the 2010-2011 season. So far, the season is starting off well. 
I was providing both of the males and Sandy was providing both of the females for the projects, so I've loaned my boys to her. The following pics were taken by her.
Male blackback het albino (my snake) X female albino (Sandy's snake):
Btw, the shed skin in the cage belongs to the another mature male--a trick Sandy was using since her albino was in shed and the pair weren't breeding.)
I don't really know for sure if the male's blackback is genetic or not. I've bred him to a couple of normals in the past, and a few of the babies did have some blackbacks (2 out of a 9-egg clutch appreared to have blackbacks and markings similar to his, and 1 out of another 7-egg clutch). Sandy and I both are kinda hoping for whiteback albinos, but time will tell I suppose.
Our second joint project is male piebald (my snake) X female het piebald (Sandy's snake):
The male is still rather small--he weighs around 600 grams as of now, but he is producing sperm plugs. He's actually an '08 animal, and when I got him back in March this year, he only weighed 270 grams. Since then, he's fed regularly for me (until about 3 weeks ago when he became sporadic) on a weekly diet of rats rather than a maintenance diet of mice, and I think that's really helped him to gain weight. He's such a sweetheart, too. No locks from him yet, but here's to hoping!
