this is my girl hetty. i bought her as a 100% het for albino darwin. i have had he for a while and as she gets older she looks more and more like she is crossed.

looking to see what people think she is and what do you think she might be crossed with.

i have contacted the seller who insists she is a pure darwin.:rolleyes:
 
To me looks like it may be crossed with a jungle but let someone with alot more experience confirm.

EDIT: Nope my bad, a Darwin it is.

Looks like a Darwin to me, a bit darker and not so much of the earthy colours that you would expect to see on the normal and het albino's I've seen before but each snake is different... Are you going to breed from her? It's always a bit of a gamble with people selling "hets" as you really have to trust the seller..attaching het or possible het can bump the $$$ up slightly so you'll get a few unsavoury characters trying to capitalise on this... not saying that its the case with yours...Beautiful looking python though, how much did you pay for her if you don't mind me asking?

Just a dark one. =) I had a very dark male like that previously and my female was much brighter, almost orange. A lot of variation in these guys, I've seen.
 
yeah i'd like to see your darwin cross jungle.

about a month ago on here i posted a pic of her and a few people told me she was not a darwin but a darwin cross possibly jungle. i own 4 other darwins and she looks nothing like them. i have an albino, a hypo and 2 normal.

i plan on breeding her in the future with my albino male they are both about 20 months old and both are stuborn feeders, so are smaller than i would like them to be.

yep in future i am hoping to breed with my male albino. i bought her as a package her, 1 childrens adult reduced pattern, 1 black and gold jungle hatchie and 1 woma yearling and a 6 bay enclosure for $900 i had to pay for the wiring of the enclosure but all thermostats, heat globs and ceramic fittings were supplied by seller. so it was a good price.
 
Mine are 100% Het Darwins from very reputable people and they both look completely different. The stripey one looks a lot like yours now. The photos of her are pretty old.

This comment intrigues me.
Why does it look like a normal het for albino? Please explain?

I'd like an answer to this as well.
My understanding is that heterozygous animals have their recessive genotype masked.
