Niiice. Interesting thing about granites, they were just a random morph popped from two seemingly normal parents! Damn UK. I can't remember the guys name but he also had the random albino blackheaded pythons! Something in the UK water.

[gonesnakee]

Piet Nugyen or somehting like that I think? THX Mark

[Aaron_S]

I believe you are correct, or very close. Didn't the Lags also originate from the UK?

[gonesnakee]

Jaguars from Norway or something I think. I used to have a link to the story but Jan whatever his name is moved & I can't seem to find the link. Mark

Found this though NUYTEN REPTILES (http://www.moreliagranites.com/nuyten_reptiles/index.htm)

[Aaron_S]

Dammit I called them lags and not jags...

Hmm noone else replies to your pics :P

[Aaron_S]

There's albino IJ's now?!

[gonesnakee]

Not nessicarily IJs but yes there have been Albino Carpets now for a bit yep. You can even buy a het male right here in Canada for only 10G DOH! LOL Mark

Damn, that's a decent investment. Carpets still tend to not go as 'mainstream' as other pythons so the market will hold for good while.

Nice looking granite Mark, Don produces some amazing animals.
Just to clarify a couple of things, Piet Nuyten is in the Netherlands not the UK, and the albino carpets that are currently available today in Europe and Canada have either been crossed into coastal carpets or crossed pure into IJ. The ones we have available in Canada and the ones available with our partners, Precision Reptiles in Germany have been crossed with IJ carpets.
With the introduction of the albino into the carpet world, it will lift the visibility of this awesome species and draw new enthusiasts into it. We're really looking forward to seeing a granite albino down the line!!!!!
Cheers
Paul

Thank you for the info Paul. Now who in Canada is breeding these snakes? I believe you're mentioning yourself in the above post. Do you have a website?

[Paul_Begg]

Hey Aaron, we have them available at our website. Click the link in my sig to get to the Urban Python site.
Feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions.
