Anyone know anything about these snakes?Some cool pics of them at Henrys house of snakes.Just seems odd that I can't find any info. on them, nor do you see any offered.It's a shame that someone did not pursue them as a breeding project.

Are you sure it isn't a "petshop" name? By that I mean someone just decided to call it what they wanted.

1. Orange Albino Black Ratsnake "Chunk" (Goonies)
.1 Orange Albino Black Ratsnake "Peaches"
0.0.1 Mexican Black Kingsnake "Onyx"

They were all white with random black speckling.Check out Henrys house of snakes web site.

For some reason you don't see them now, I think those animals were in the collection of Doug Moody back when he was first producing some of the amel nelsons. Shame they aren't around.

I believe he got this male to breed one time and got a couple of hets, not sure though. The male chocolate died later I believe. HDEAN

These pics were taken by Doug Moody who owned the snake. HDEAN

Nice, who has those? Wonder what would happen if lucistic was pluged into that? Black peppering says black rat to me.

Hold Up! Looking past the black dots, it would seem that Pantherophis obsoletus, obsoletus very well could have independantly produced a leucistic version of itself without the aide of a lindheimeri cross.

All things are possible.

Yes, those were my thoughts that is why I want one!

If you look at the picture, you have a white snake with dark blue eyes. This is a leucistic E. obsoleta morph. Do we know if this snake was one of a kind, or were they able to breed more? I keep WT obsoletae myself, but I will say that the snake in the photo is eye catching.

One of my natural obsoletae, a Gulf Hammock.

Could that snake be paradox leucistic?

I have seen piebald with a few scales dark, or all dark with white heads. Again I think piebaldism is a form of lucism since some piebald morphs are all white and the white on both is pure looking.

I think you are not using the term piebald in the standard way. This snake is showing very little color, and there are no areas of normal pattern showing. It also looks like piebald snakes have normal eye coloring. The rat snake in the photo has the classic dark blue eyes of a leucistic rat snake.

Def.: Piebald--a snake with both areas that are white and patternless and areas of normal pattern and color.

I have included a link to a site with photos of a piebald Ball Python.
PIEBALD Ball Python

Yes I refer to them differently after considering lucistic cottonmouth some are lucistic and some are piebald all same parental stock so I do use the term interchangeably.
