The albinoes are breeding! I didn't catch anything being born unfortunately, but I took these pictures when they were probably around 5-10 hours old. As you can see, there is an incredible amount of variation (yes, all these are albino, all have red eyes). Like albino Carpets etc they look much more dull when they are tiny babies (which is why you rarely see pictures of hatchling albino Carpets! But hey, I won't be so shy, it's cool to see them and how much they change :) ).

I still haven't really worked out how to tell what a baby will look like as an adult, but it seems that generally the redder ones stay a rich red/orange and the duller ones become much more pale... but there is obviously much more to it than that and the adults vary as much as the babies. It's difficult to find any two babies which look alike.

Pretty exciting stuff! :)

And a couple of pictures of older ones for comparison (these might have been posted before, sorry!). I would love to be able to get a big pile of adults together to take variation photographs like the above ones!

You say that like it's something other than a bonus! ;)

Yep, it's pretty exciting! :) I'm still not over just how much variation comes out of a single clutch!

Shooshoo: They're roughly 18cm long (I'm just guessing, I can't remember measuring!) at birth. Pretty small. The albinoes are pretty good feeders though, and they grow quickly... very lucky to have the albinism pop up in good animals :)
 
Well done thats a rareity how much would one be worth just curious same with a lot of others
 
Wow, stunning. I'd love a death adder.
 
grats on the bubs, theyre really cute, but that adult is amazing!!
drools
 
Do the little ones have fangs long enough to penetrate skin? Do owners handle them? I like to be able to interact with my pets and some of my pythons love my attention, like they know I'm friendly and affectionate towards them. But I would like to know if elapids can show the same 'respect' to their owners...lol

Only been married 2 years, so still classes as a newlywed, not at that stage of thinking just yet, although some days he really tries my patience LOL
