A few months ago I bred our breeder nuclear kenyan sand boa male to a very nice albino kenyan sand boa adult female I got from Abigail 'Abi' McDufford about a year ago. For those of you who don't know Abi, send her a friend request on facebook, she is the ultimate reptile hobbyist/breeder. Her passion for animals and love for reptiles is only exceeded by her incredible eye for great looking morphs. Anyhow, I was noticing that our albino female is getting quite large 'gravid' and I thought I'd share this project with everyone.
Once the albino female drops, we should have a nice litter of nuclear crosses het for albino. My plan is to grow the entire litter up, maybe sell off a couple to some past clients, but for the most part keep the litter in tact and breed the best male nuclear cross het albino kenyan sand boa to two nuclear cross het anery/albino (snow) females along with a really nice albino kenyan sand boa. I expect to get a couple nuclear albino's from these breedings in about 18 months. I know that sounds like a long time but snake projects take a while to get them going. Having to breed, wait, grow, grow, breed, wait, grow, grow....some projects can take as long as 5 years to prove out. Assuming all the snakes eat properly and you don't slug out (birth of infertile eggs) along the way. Here's a couple pictures Roy 'Father of the Nuclear' Stockwell shared of his Nuclear Albino Project that got us interested in following in his footsteps....
You too can start this project. We have a couple nuclear crosses available on our website, both males and females along with some normal het albinos and anery het albino. We recently had a catastrophic computer failure at the house and the available page is current but we do have more to offer than what is pictured. If you don't see what you want, email me Mark@LHALegal.com and let me know what you'd like and we'll send over some pictures. Check out our availables at http://www.sandboamorphs.com/
