Albino Granite
The Albino Granite combines two recessive mutations: the tyrosinase-negative Albino from Darwin Carpet Pythons (M. s. variegata) and the Granite from Papuan/IJ lines (M. s. harrisoni). Both traits must be homozygous for the animal to be visually expressed – making this a double-recessive combination and a documented subspecies cross.
The amelanistic background transforms the Granite's characteristic dense micro-speckling into a warm, creamy-white pattern with fine granular detail. The overall appearance is lighter and more textured than a standard Albino, with the Granite influence visible as a subtle "noise" across the body.
Albino Granites are valuable breeding animals for advanced projects. Paired with an Axanthic-carrying partner, they open the path toward Snow Granite – one of the most sought-after triple-recessive combinations in the Morelia spilota complex.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Philip at StarPythons. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations. Importing two carpet pythons from Europe might sound stressful, but Philip made it incredibly easy and kept me informed every step of the way. Both animals arrived safely, right on schedule, and in excellent condition. You can immediately tell they were well cared for, alert, healthy, and exactly as described. It’s clear that Philip takes pride in the quality of his animals and the service he provides. If you’re considering adding to your collection, especially through an import, I highly recommend StarPythons. This was a five-star experience all around, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Philip again.
