Spotnose?? Yes, no, maybe so?

tailswithscales Jul 20, 2006 03:38 PM

This is my male 100% Het Albino. He's a great feeder and has a nice black back. But my question is could he be a spotnose? I know the only real way to know is to breed him but I was curious if there were any other markers.
All in all he's a beautiful snake.
Thank you for looking.

I actually hatched some like that...they too were actually het amel.........and I have black backs in that line.......I was going to ask where you got it.....but I just remembered Bachman still has the spotted one.......actually he just proved it out with 1.2 amels from 8 eggs (to a 50% poss het girl he got from me too.....).......

3 albinos from a $250 investment.........not bad huh....

go to VPI homepage and see the spotnose........he looks totally different from normal actually.....

I went to check out the spotnose on the VPI site, but I couldn't find any pics of this snake.

Would you happen to have a direct link to the photo?

Thanks,
Ken
