    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Over the past few months I have grown increasingly interested in the Albino Gene. More specifically I would say the High Contrast hatchlings produced by this gene. There's just something about it that really catches my eye. I have also come to greatly appreciate that Lavender Gene. Though I'm not completely interested in the way the gene develops (with the fading/glowing effect), the hatchlings to me are the ideal looking Albino Morph of a Ball Python. I would love an adult that retains the hatching coloring and high contrast like the one in the picture I have included (this is not my picture I just found it on Google Images). Does anyone know if there are any Albino lines that retain this type of coloring into adulthood or know a specific person or persons that breeds something like this?

Let me know what you think!

I think the high contrast albino genes have variation like other morphs "pastels", some just look better or show more of the high contrasts than others. If you look at spider albinos and pin albinos you can really tell the difference in there variation through there pattern. If you look at high contrast albino clutches you can tell the difference in all the clutch mates also. I have seen some extremely good examples on these classifieds that go for a little more.
 
Also be careful with photos being a little enhanced... I think that photo is a little enhanced. best is to see them in person.
 
Agree with Kyle....for some reason every time I take a pic of an Albino hatchling I always get the same response..."is it really purple"....no its not just the way the camera took it.
Perfect example....I have two monitors hooked up to one computer at work and always have a new pic of a BP as my screen saver every week...both different brands of monitors and the pic never looks the same from screen to screen...I have a pic of the BEL I have for sale on them know and one is dull and the other is bright...tried setting screen picture options on both and cant get them to ever look the same...
I have to agree better to see in person.

That's very interesting guys. I never thought of the role certain monitors could play in appearance and what not. No doubt seeing them in person would be the best thing. I guess the best way to describe what I am looking for or want is a clear distinguished boundary between the orange spots and the white, absolutely no bleed effect, and if possible no adult fading.
 
best bet would be get a high contrast albino mixed with another gene like genetic black back albino, black pastel albino, sable albino the darker pigment on these co-doms tends to make a brighter albino. take your time and look at a lot of albinos you will find what you are looking for.
