    ID Please ASAP?

    Can anyone give me a positive ID on ThisGarter.jpgGarter 2.jpg This is not mine but it is in a reptile rescue. I want to rehome it and I would like a positive ID. It looks like and Albino T Marcianus but not sure. Would like second opinions please ASAP. Thanks!

    I think you're right, pics are a little fuzzy but it looks like an albino checkered to me.

    Do you know what substrate it's on? Looks like it's either shiney or damp.

    You can see the shed in the second pic, if it's still there when you pick it up check the tail and eyecaps. If the substrate is damp it's worth checking for scale-rot, if you're up for rescuing it that won't matter, but good to look out for a potential vets bill if it needs treatment.

    Looks like an albino T. marcianus to me as well. Looks just like Hermes.

    I'd say go for it. We have one that is about 9 months old. Lovely snake.
