has anyone ever seen any tree boas like this?

I've seen an albino amazon tree boa! Really cool looking and so far all she has produced is slugs...

realy? u have any pics? and what do you mean slugs?

Yup...really. Never got pics because when I first saw her she was dirty and in a shed so she looked kind of hypoish. She was sold before I saw her shed. If you are ever at a show where Ben Siegel is set up look at his banner and there is a picture of her.

Slugs means infertlie ova (looks like yellowish brown eggs).

I'll see if Ben has a picture floating around...

ok, what color was he/she? how much the snake?

She was/is white/yellow/pink...but not like an albino burm or anything...kind of dull, but cool looking. I think her selling price was $7,500.00

here it is, and what the owner has to say about him/her

You guys, will be the first ones that have ever seen this animal. I debated ever showing it, because of the redicule that I endured many years ago over this animal, by people that were supposed to be my friends. The picture is, what it is and the photo was taken 10years ago with a cheap polaroid after the animal had been in deep freeze for nearly two years" ice and freezer burn and all " . I wish that I would have pickled the Emerald in a Jar, but I did not and shortly after the picture was taken, we had went on vacation and the freezer went out and all had to be discarded. I am sure that some will say, that the picture is fake among other criticisms, but this is it and that is all I can say. I will not go into a long and drawn out story, but I will give you guys and gals the basic ruff draft. I had a female that was an import come in and a year after quarantine, I bred her with a male and the result was 9 babies in the litter and one of them of course was the white one. At that time, the only white snakes that I had ever seen, was albino Boas and I assumed that this was a albino. I called a few of my trusted friends about the animal and I was alot younger and trusted some of these guys that I had looked up to at the time. When I had found out that these " supposed friends " were talking about me behind my back and calling me a liar, I was hurt and became extremely pridefull and decided that " hell would freeze over " before I would ever let them or anyone ever see it and that is what I did. I realize now, " being older and at least a little wiser " that it was not the right decision and I should have showed it to the world and really " stuck it to these supposed friends of mine. " The parents, never produced another one and I believe that the female may have retained sperm from a breeding that happened while she was in the wild and I do have some of the siblings, but have not tried to breed them as of yet. As the years passed, I finally realized that the Emerald was in fact a Leusistic and at not quite 4yrs of age, it just died. It never showed any problems and was always normal in it's habits, but maybe it is just a result of weak genes. Well, here she is and that is the short version of the story. It is time for me to have some closure on this and a part of me thinks that " maybe the redicule has just begun. " Regardless, it is done and people can think what they want.After several talks with Joe, I have decided to just put it out there. Believe me, if I had not held this gem in my hand, I would have my doubts too.If you try this at home, just make sure you use the good Krylon spray paint, the cheap stuff does no good! Ha! HA! So, here she is; " The most rare animal ever produced. "..........John

That is actually an albino Emerald, not ATB.
