are not truely White as adults. There are some breeders that have very White animals, but they do have some degree of yellow. Most are very yellow as they mature.

It is the hope that the Blizzard, Type II Anery Albino, will be white as an adult. If the Type II ends up being axanthic as well, this will be the case. So far the Blizzards have been stillborn, so there is no way to know.

If you want a large snake that is white, you will have to wait.

Ivory Retics seem to whiten with age and size.

The leucistic southern pine is a nice sized white snake that is reasonably priced. Not to mention they have very impressive and sometimes intimidating displays.

Good choice. I'd recommend either a Leucistic Southern Pine, a Snow Southern Pine, or a Snow bull. All good sized, nearly solid white snakes that won't kill you financially. "Pits" are great to work with.

and he's awesome. He does have a lot of yellow on him, though. I think blizzard pits exist now, but I'm not sure.
