Albino T.s.parietalis on the Ranch

Cogratulations, Steve!
That´s a very lucky adoption.
You can see. that his parents were as dark as your females ( all the pink scales would be black without the amelanistic gene ). he´s locking very well: Good proportions, clear eyes and no deformations.

Are you shure that he´s young? Have you measured his length and weight? From the true colored picture I would guess, that is is at least 3 years old. ( the skin becomes thicker with each shed, normal colored snakes will become darker, amelanistics become paler )
I would be interested, if it is the same amelansitic gene as the Kansas-strain!

He's 34 grams and 22 inches/55.88 cm
He feels young to me but I'm basing this off how a young radix male feels.
You mentioned something about the skin becoming thicker with age. He feels soft. Not near as rough a feel as older snakes.
Of course, this is subjective to many things. I may be off base with this.
In any event he's seems healthy and feels strong. Spring will tell about breeding. I want to at least produce a good number of hets. to work with.

After posting this he decided to come out for a bath.
