"Cole has a albino Cal. king that will eat the mouse and the snake eating it if he could. I'll try and get a photo of the poor pasty looking thing."

As promised, here is Willy, now I'm not big for naming snakes but this name seems to have stuck. If I remember right, Cole got pasty old Willy from a girl Cole new who was moving out of town, and didn't want to take Pasty Willy w/ her. Sometimes girls are mean.
Cole never met a snake he didn't like, and ended up w/ Pasty.


I thought Willy was disgusting looking, pale to the point of being pink, w/ no aesthetic worth what so ever. But Willy has grown on me, like a loose tooth, or a wart on your finger you can't stop playing w/. Every time I'd go over to Cole's I'd have to see Willy he is really very rough and tumble, if you have any snake musk on your hand he will eat the hand, and I liked that about him. If your hands are clean he'll chill out w/ you all day.While taking these photos I literally grabbed his head and nose between my thumb and fore finger and moved his head into postion for the shot, didn't bother him one bit. You couldn't do that to a Milksnake w/out it spazzing out.
He still isn't nice to look at w/ his pale cadaverous scales, and his feeble degree of chroma, his pink eyes. But I have to admit there is something about him I like.
