Albino butlers found.Going to a museum eventually.

Indeed it is. Here's the albino northwestern for comparison. The northwestern is too young right now to know what color it's stripes will turn out to be, but if they turn out yellow, these two albinos will look very much alike.



EDIT: actually, this northwestern's stripes are looking yellow.

Butler's again:

The butlers is awesome. Glad to see the updates. Glad to have Carl here too! Welcome!

[ConcinusMan]

Second doesn't show.

Give it a chance and/or do a hard refresh. I did notice that the server it's on is quite slow.

They're both very pretty...but the Butler's is particularly stunning.

[ConcinusMan]

True. Chances are the northwestern is far from done coloring up though. Yellows, orange, red... always start out faint or non existent on northwesterns and the color comes in gradually over 6-12 months. I just mainly wanted to point out the obvious similarities. If I had found the butlers in Portland, Oregon, I would have sworn it was a northwestern.

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone! I'll take some pics of the baby radix in the next few days and post them.

Here are some shots of my li’l plains. Plains garters hybridize with Butler’s garters in the area this individual came from, and though I with my limited experience see no evidence of Butler’s influence in this snake, I plan to show it to a experienced researcher who may I.D. it as a hybrid.

Good looking snake.
Looks like a brown phase T.radix to me.
