New arrival -- Albino Flame Female

[Sonya610]

Just got an adolescent female albino flame from Tom Dickinson (aka snakeman). Second time I have purchased from Tom and I can't recommend him highly enough, he is a pleasure to do business with and his animals are fantastic.

The photos don't do her justice color wise, she was purchased as a companion to my Concinnus female (who was recently separated from my flame male after I discovered the Concinnus was NOT male afterall). Having been housed by herself up until now she was more than a little miffed at first, much tail thrashing and dashing about the enclosure when the Concinnus dared to touch her. Fortunately she is getting over it after 2 days, as is evident in the last pic.

Beautiful new addition!! Congrats!

Thanks for the kind words, course all of the credit goes to Tom. I should mention she is a high orange, the photos make her look more like a salmon pink.

Glad she made it safely. What a stunning snake! Can't say I have ever seen one quite like her.

I have a HUGE adult albino female flame that I got from Tom as a baby. Every snake I have from Tom has been awesome!
Good luck with your new addition.

Yes well I hope she stops biting the $#@! out of me before she becomes a huge female. Sheesh she is a little spitfire! Three times now (moving her to/from feeding container). At least she just tail thrashes and doesn't actually bite her cage mate.

Does Tom have a website? I tried google but could not find a combination of words that didn't bring up 100 different people by the same name.

Wow. Love the color. I kinda want to get an albino or black garter, but need to get more tanks first lol.

I don't know if he has a website (I kind of doubt that he does). His nick is "Snakeman" on here. I may have mispelled his name...google Tom Dickenson/garters.

She's biting?I would try to reduce her stress.that snake had never shown aggression before.stress can kill .so take that into consideration.
I don't have a website.I limited my garter collection.I should have two broods next year.

Yes biting, and lots of tail thrashing at times but at the same time eating well (twice gobbling 2 chopped pinkies) and loving the water dish (swimming for fun). Sheesh now I am worried, she seems interested and comes up to the front easily enough, or when the cage is opened she is up for seeing what is happening,

Will PM you.

That is a mighty fine looking specimen!
