Albino Tiger
The Albino Tiger combines the recessive Albino mutation from Darwin Carpet Pythons (M. s. variegata) with the polygenic Tiger pattern from Coastals (M. s. mcdowelli). This is a documented subspecies cross.
The Albino removes all dark pigment while the Tiger provides longitudinal dorsal striping – resulting in an amelanistic animal with warm yellow-orange stripes on a clean white base. The Tiger striping quality depends on the selective breeding history of the Tiger parent line.
Tiger is polygenic – there is no "het Tiger" or "Super Tiger." The striping is passed on through selective pairing over generations, not as a simple Mendelian trait. Tiger has no neurological issues.
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.
