Extra large albino Nelsoni line?

Dan_W Jun 23, 2008 12:51 AM

This subject has been broached in the past, although I still have no clear idea as to where to specifically locate a producer of an extra large albino Nelsoni. I live in Europe (Italy), where there appears to be less interest in snakes in general, and albinos in particular, so this forum is probably the best place there is to enter this post, and receive an informed answer…

Some U.S. breeders have produced exceptionally large albino L.t.n., but have since sold or traded the parents, or are no longer milksnake hobbyists; others are not well known to amateur hobbyists. If I were to ask where to look for particularly large Gaigae, I’d probably be directed to seek the San Antonio Zoo line, and be given contact information for various breeders of same… If I were to ask who has the best super extreme Hondurans, certain names, including contact information, would indubitably show up.

I’d be very appreciative if someone would direct me to a source or sources of these incredible milksnakes. Mike Russo in the past has shown off photos of a 53” specimen in the hands of his child. These 48” albinos do not exist here in Europe, and I want one!

Can any one help me out?

Thank you!

Dan

Good question Dan. It is not uncommon here in the states to see some of the much older snakes attain lengths of 4 feet. My two oldest Moody Line breeder male albinos are large, one being 50" and the other being 52". I also have a 1997 hypoerythristic male sinaloan that is 54". All of them are truly impressive animals and will produce offspring that certainly rival their parents.
