Albi'no'

[gregmonsta]

Sorry guys, I know they are still garters .... but I just have to say it

YUCK, YUCK, YUCK .... not a fan

[drache]

are you referring to any specific ones?
I don't really like most of the ones I've seen either
something about that lavender skin tone just is too reminiscent of frozen or dead naked white person
they're okay when they have lots of other colours

Seen a lot of dead naked white people?

Seen a lot of dead naked white people?

the ones I've seen in person were too fresh to get the full effect, and preserved parts and photos in medical literature are probably misleading, so I can only tell you what it evokes
but I'm pretty darn white, and that's the colour I turn when I'm so cold it hurts; that bit I can testify to

[gregmonsta]

I do like the other morphs, (anery,etc) ... but it doesn't seem to matter what snake it is either .... if it's an albino pic I'll flick right past it, if it's a mixed litter I'm looking at the 'normals' in the pic .... in shops/at reptile shows I would rather look a the 'dull' normal sitting next to it . I know everybody's tastes are different , but it's a bit like fashion ... it becomes like cornmorphs or royal pythons.

I concur, but to each his own.

The same applies to snows, axanthics, anerys and erythristics. Nothing beats a "clean" wildform, in my humble opinion. Although that erythristic eastern people have been posting is pretty nice.

erythristic easterns are regularly found in the wild... and if you know where to look so are plains! I think they are more common out there than anyone even knows!

I have to say it too, albinos are not my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I have albinos, and I love them, but I prefer my snakes with melanin all the way! That's why you see me acquiring lots of different species and not so much focusing on all the morphs. I like really good looking wild type snakes. I would say the only albino I really think looks impressive is my red sided, because it's a combination of brilliant yellow, bright red, and deep purple. I don't even like PURPLE but it's cool to see a vivid purple on a snake. The albinos I do have, I prefer to keep them at just that, albinos. I don't want to mix them with every morph under the sun because the more morphs you put into a snake, the more color it loses. And a plain white snake doesn't do it for me, so for me if it's albino I need it to be colorful for it to be appealing! I may produce snows of something down the line, but not really on purpose. I would rather have a melanistic eastern, and an albino eastern, separately, than have a snow. The only thing nice about snakes like that are, especially if it's a male, you have good breeding power with one.

It's kind of like in the ball python hobby where they are now producing snakes that are showing 4 different mutations in the same snake, and the more morphs that go into it, the more color and pattern they lose!

[Snakers]

I like all the morphs, In my opinion any morph can be found in the wild, who knows maybe some how a melanistic and an albino crossed in the wild an created a snow we my never be able to find one in the wild but it doesn't mean there not there

lol!

sorry but I did find that funny only because while not impossible I would bet a large sum of money it's never happened!
