I found an Albino Garden Snake

Has anyone heard from this person who originally posted?

I tried PMing her, but haven't heard back. I wish she would come back. I know her post got delayed a long time though. She may have gotten discouraged.

She posted in other threads and didn't get noticed either. Probably just gave up.=/

I know that feeling!!

If people would just bother to read the registering information they would know about the delay for the first post. This happens a lot. They don't read it. If you look back a few posts you will see that Wayne sent this person an email to see if they will come back.

I sure hope the snake is getting proper care. It doesn't take much to kill a baby northwestern. Furthermore the enclosure looked too damp and they get blisters in a matter of days.

That snake is either already dead or released.

re-read the original post closely.

Well sh%$!!!. Why is it these are only found by people that don't know what they have or how to care for it. That's the second one this year that slipped away.

I'm beginning to think that these two were found this year just to torture me. Kind of reminds me of a few years ago when my friend found a brand new top of the line alienware laptop at a bus stop. The battery was dead so he thought it was broken. So what did he do? He threw it around and destroyed it. If he only knew what he had...

Still, I'd like to know exactly where the snake was found. Obviously if that population produced an albino, there's probably a lot of hets there. Might be worthwhile to gather up gravid females in the spring and see if an albino pops out.

Yeah...this makes me very upset too. I guess she tried...but if Wayne tried to contact her and she didn't respond...that is totally on her and the snake suffered as a consequence. Makes me very upset...

I was given her e-mail address on 10/14 and sent an e-mail trying to buy the animal. I never got a response back, so I am guessing she had decided to keep it. I hope it survived for the snakes sake, but it doesn't sound good from the original post.

Yeah...it doesn't sound good...
