100% Het for Albino Spotted Python Breeding pair — Antaresia maculosa, the boldest-patterned of Australia’s small pythons: chocolate blotches scattered down a cream body like spilled ink. Spotteds stay around a metre, feed like clockwork, and carry the calm Antaresia temperament that makes the genus the standard recommendation for first-time python keepers. Albino and het-albino listings descend from the well-established recessive line — genetics as stated in the title.

Care Basics
Simple and forgiving: warm end on a thermostat, two tight hides, weekly feeds for youngsters stretching out with age. Spotteds are enthusiastic feeders — a hook-tap before handling teaches them the difference between dinner and cuddles inside a fortnight. Mice for life; they never need rats.
