I may be purchasing a female suphan in the next week or two and I already have a male monocle (albino) the female sounds as though she is ready to breed now but it will be next year before my male is ready and really I am hoping to score a male suphan by then but in case I don't I am probably going to give the male a shot at her has anyone had any expirience with mixing the two color forms before I know I won't get albino's but I am curious what I will get abberant,suphans,regular???? any help will be much appriciated p.s. sorry about the spelling I am kinda rushing
Thanks

www.diamondreptile.com has experience in selling and breeding different kinds of morphs for the monocled cobra. You should email them for exact morphs. They have created some of the rarest morphs for this snake species. Wouldn't hurt to ask. Hope this helps you out...

Joe,
I would change your picture....you are showing very poor "hook and tail" handling techniques and I question whether you are even ready to take on another cobra. You're a young guy with a lot of years ahead of you but poor handling will negate that.
"Scoring" on a cobra makes me wonder what your motives are to breed them....why? We've got plenty of monocleds in captivity and putting more on the market just compounds the problems we already have. But, that's just my opinion. Not trying to cut you down but offer some advice.

rob I appreciate your constructive critisism but that picture is five years old or older I just threw it in there for a pic of me. but now that you say it I took a better look at the picture and I have to admit I should update my whole profile. I am not looking to flood the market with cobras I am only working with a few projects and suphans are one I am trying to start a 09' project with. I have been keeping and breeding cobras since 01'.Anyway I have only worked with normal and albino monocles before and was only raising the question to see what I may get if I let a normal (albino) mono breed her. I am only asking because I have heard mixed responses to this question. and have yet to talk to a breeder directly about the topic.
Thanks anyway
Joe

p.s. I have kept several species of cobras over the past few years and unfortunatly used a bad pic of a young fellow handling his first adult cobra I should have payed closer attention when putting pictures in my profile I forget sometimes that the future of our hobby relies largly on our public displays and I want to thank you rob for pointing that out
