Hmmm...According to the "Field Guide to Reptiles and the Law" (19th edition I believe), Ca. law does make exceptions for the propogation of certain nonvenomous native species...However, it is also explicit in saying that "this provision shall not apply to any member of the genus Crotalus"....This law may be a bit outdated, but was very explicit in stating that no native rattlesnake can be bought, sold, bartered, etc....
If this law is still on the books (and I have no reason to believe that it isn't), than any native crotalid (albino or not) cannot be commercialized.
I wish i could dig out this field guide for the exact verbage, but I think I caught the essence....
Any experts on (current) Ca law as relates to the commercialization of albino crotalids on here?
