    Re: I found an Albino Garden Snake

    The worm ranch thing got a lot of good reviews...it's just basically worm bedding, food, and a container to house the worms. Better than buying it all separately if it works...I might try it.

    Let's get something straight. Worms that we feed to our snakes don't eat scraps. That job is for red wigglers. Earth worms eat what has already been broken down by bacteria and composting worms. In other words they eat what has already been composted. Putting rotting scraps in with earthworms just invites mold and bacteria that will kill them.

    Well they ate it. Anything they didn't eat was taken out every 3 days, but a lot of it was missing usually. But, whatever you say.

    Showing off climbing around after 9th shed. She gets real friendly and shows off after giving me the gift. And then gobbles down her first worm after many days of not eating. It scares me lots when she goes into shed mode I always think she's dying or something is wrong. Used to give me anxiety attacks but now I know what's going on. She's getting huge and squeezes me when I handle her so much I'm actually getting kinda scared of her! LOL!!IMG_0736.jpg

    Re: I found an Albino Garden Snake

    Can't believe I missed this thread! I read through the whole thing and really want to thank you. You have the ONLY albino northwestern in captivity in the world! And by the looks of it, you're taking superb care of her. Really nice to see that the little girl is in good hands. Do you have plans to allow her to breed in the future?

    Re: I found an Albino Garden Snake

    She is getting very large and agressive almost 10 months old. I wonder what would I breed her with to get more albino possibilites. She is longer then a 10 gallon tank and bigger then my index finger round. very strong too!!!

    Re: I found an Albino Garden Snake

    Unless you were able to locate a het albino or albino northwestern, you wouldnt be able to produce any albinos in the first generation. Breeding her to a normal northwestern would create a litter of het albino northwesterns. These heterozygous babies would carry one copy of the albino gene. Two copies are needed to create a visual albino. I would find her a nice boy and see if they hit it off once she is mature enough!
