Even Bob's opinion is just that because no one really know's what the survival rate of albino herp's are in nature. Personally I've had an adult albino Heterodon simus, subadult albino Heterodon platyrhino's brought to me caught wild and I purchased them. A few months ago a LG ADULT albino Coral snake wc was brought to Carl Barden [he still has it]. I observed a wild albino adult Nerodia floridana in the Fakahatchee Strand at the end of the boardwalk. 4 albino Crotalus adamanteus were brought to me that were 30"-35" long caught wild. There are many other examples. It might just be that albinism is such a rare trait in wild populations that they are rarely encountered BUT it may have more to do with the occurance being rare rather than an inability to hide from predators or possibly a combination of both. In any event your accepting what Bob Clark says as factual but if you really read what you posted it's still nothing more than speculation on his part which he imply's as such in his writing. Once more why do you always argue points built on a house of cards. This post is based on real facts. Those examples I gave either existed or still exist. Your claim is unproven and hearsay at best. You would be accepted more and in fact might prove invaluable to us if you would remove the chip from your shoulder and try to learn something rather than try to teach us something in our own field of expertise which you at best know little about. You are an intellegent person but why does someone with your raw intellegence not understand she is a minnow swimming in a pool of sharks? Only you can answer that. I think you should look in a mirror and understand your real deep down emotions and perhaps come to terms with yourself. Only then can you become respected and appreciated....I mean you no harm in this post but it is true as I see it...
