Erythristic Albino Eastern born last night

[Jeff B]

This erythristic albino was born last night from a Carteret Co. double het for erythristic albino bred to the same. Unfortunately there were 5 stillborns and one was an albino, but the good news is this one is very healthy looking, and the best part is that it is a male. I think this snake has a lot of potiential to really color up as it grows, it already has a pinkish orange glow to it that the picture doesn't really do justice. Scott had already produced a litter of these last month, but this is the first year they have been produced. I was first to produce the snow red-sided this year but he was the first to produce the erythristic albino, so he said this makes us "even steven", lol.

Congratulations! :)

Why are you particularly pleased that the special little guy is a male? Is Scott's a female?

Because I can breed him to several different females next year.

Thanks guys
The stillborns were a bit depressing to see, as always, but I always prefer to count my blessings, and to have the only live baby be a male ery albino is a major blessing in itself and I am thankful, and the mom is still healthy and doing well too. We can always try to make more next year to share.
