    Ribbon Morph?

    I was just thinking, are there any ribbon morphs( Like any type of ribbon sp/ssp.)? Did a quick search and haven't seen anything. Are there even albino ribbons?

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Also keep in mind that ribbon snakes are underrated so very few people work with them. I'm sure if they were more popular we would have seen more abberant morphs.

    I'm sure something or another has turned up. Never seen or heard of any morphs though.

    I did not know that. But I have never before heard of any aberrants or "morphs" for ribbon snakes. If they exist, it's probably very rare.

    Emily you don't know how right you were.
    Last night I got a call from my friend Steve Schmidt who had been doing some searching with regards to your above statement.
    He found that in Aug. 13, 1959 an albino Thamnophis sauritus was found in Texas.
    I would link to the article but apparently I copied the location address wrong. I will try to fix the problem and post it later.

    Thanks for the info. Steve.
