for lack of better terms, maybe it should or will be called clear or transparent if it proves to be genetic, because you can see right thru it. I say "it" because I haven't popped it, because I don't want to stress it out any, and it doesn't matter because I will figure out the sex in due time. The last couple of days have been fun, that snake is eating very well, tonight it ate 3 rosies one right after the other, yesterday it ate a pinky tail. The amazing thing is, I can see it's heart take every single beat, and you can see all organs, it's a living lesson of snake anatomy, and when it eats you can watch the fish slide down, a couple of times I could see the eyes of the fish clearly sliding down all the way into the belly. I am going to try to make a video of it eating, not sure what I will do with the video, but maybe someday will be able to share it. Anyway that's the latest update here.

Hey Jeff,
Really cool! Any chance of getting closeup photos of the body, after a meal?

Scott,
The post above has got me wondering - when your gravid snows and albinos are carrying normal colored young, can you make out the babies inside of the mother?

yes i beleive you can
sorry for the pics i have no idea why they were there?!?!
James,
I have never tried to do that, I handle gravid snakes minimally so to minimize stress to them. I would suspect you could differentiate between the dark and light ones however anerythristics and possible hets would most likely look similar in those circumstances.
