Granite het Albino
This animal is a visual Granite carrying the Albino allele in heterozygous form. Visually, it displays the characteristic Granite pattern fragmentation – regular banding broken into individually pigmented scale clusters. The Albino het status is not visible and is determined through documented parentage.
Granite originates from Irian Jaya (M. s. harrisoni) and Albino from Darwin (M. s. variegata). The combination of both lineages makes this a documented subspecies cross.
The hidden Albino allele provides breeding value for producing visual Albino Granites – a double-recessive combination that removes all dark pigment from the Granite pattern, resulting in a pale golden-cream mosaic on a white-yellow ground. Paired with another Granite het Albino, statistically 25% of offspring will be visual Albino Granites.
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.
