I think what he's saying is that anybody selling a snake that was a Sharp x Kahl would have at the very least advertised the offspring as a double het, not to mention advertised it for A LOT more than $50.

And with that I agree, very slim chance the snakes was a Sharp x Kahl.

BTW, keeping with the educational theme of this thread, there is a way two albino snakes can produce heterozygous offspring or even homozygous dominate offspring. For this to happen a germline mutation is required in one or both genders. Very rare but was documented in either cornsnakes or house snakes.

Again, I say zero chance this is the case with the Craigslist snake linked above.

I would never buy a Sharp x Kahl cross, it would take nearly 12 yrs to produce a double expression and we don't even know if it would work...to much work for incompadable genes.

There have been many a warning in regards to crossing the two strains, only one cross was documented and abandoned. All the offspring went into the pet trade...as normals...

If its hard to find, someone in Gainsville has a few dozen probably.

yeah the first thing that came to mind when I read that part was that it was a respiratory infection (causing cold like symptoms like mucus and wheezing) but that can hardly be considered small.

Just got to give it a tissue to blow its nose every now and again and put a wet towel on the heater at night so he's not keeping himself up coughing...

How does he hold the tissue though?

Yeah, URI's are a big deal, I wouldn't pay a nickel for a snake with a URI personally. They're more curable now than they once were but still...

I agree, it is more of a hassle then it is worth even if it is only $50 you would probably end up spending hundreds at the vets office getting it fixed.
