    Ditto what Steve said, thats awesome that you got that snake, I made an offer but it already wasn't enough, and I need another project like I need another hole in my head, so really glad you picked it up. Hey Scott Felzer has a group with melanistics and a hypermel, that he might part with, you might want to check with him. Looking forward to seeing your results in the next couple years, best of luck.

    Re: albino wandering

    Is it just me or does that look just like the others I've seen only they weren't called albino. They were hypomelanistic. Awesome snake but it looks like the others I have seen before, as in, it's not anything new. Seems like everyone was thinking this is something not found before. I've seen at least two just like this found and pictures posted on field herp forum, although those are usually photograph, and release.

    I don't know. Seems like there's more going on than just T+ albino. I think it's a little more this side of normal than just a T+ albino.

    Maybe I'm wrong. Who knows. I just know that wanderings like this have been found often enough that I wouldn't consider them extremely rare or new.

    Nice to finally see a pic. I was too late to view the ad. It had already been taken down.

    Re: albino wandering

    From what I know about other snake species, I would call this a T+ without a doubt.
    Cool looking snake!!!

    Re: albino wandering

    thanks everyone for the kind words!

    as far as whether or not she is albino, the red pupils are not indicative of any other traits that i know of and her hypo coloration screams T+ to me. either way i can't wait to see her offspring down the road.

    She's gorgeous! She looks like an Autumn to me

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
