One of the albino scutulatus I was fortunate enough to produce this year. It's been a long project that has finally come to fruition.

Awesome! Congratulations.......would love to see more pics. Can't wait to see some of the patternless scuts produced.

Just curious on the genetics of the parents and how they arrived in the hobby.....

I found the only albino that I am aware of - May 31st of 2000 near Ridgecrest, CA.

Here's a picture of her the night I found her.

There was someone else (Shannon Brown) who posted some pics on this forum (Aug 24, 2008 to be exact) of their neonate amelanistic scute. I happen to find albino scutes more colorful than albino atrox despite the shorter coontail. BTW do you know of anyone who has produced an albino Ruber?

Sorry but no, I don't know anyone with ablino ruber.

Shannon's albino is from me. Currently, and unless someone finds another wild specimen, I'm the only one that has produced albino scuts. There are VERY few out there now, of which, have origninated from me this season only. I'll be surprised if I produce any next season. It will likely be the following year for mine to produce again, and probably 2 or 3 years for a couple of guys that have neonates from this year.

Hey Brad, awesome snake and congrats on the success. A friend of mine said he knew someone who collected an albino scute out here and relocated to Rosamond so he could keep it (which is Kern Co. not LA co, where they cannot be kept). I can't validate this story.

I did find a patternless out here years ago, my friend told me they were common many years ago in an area now covered with homes, I found mine near that area in a small field. Very pretty animal that was.

Beautiful!
I was under the impression that the albino you found years ago ended up dying without ever reproducing? Maybe I'm thinking of some other rare snake.

Nope, alive, well and doing great!

There's a couple patternless mojaves floating around here in Az, but that albino is smokin'! I'm usually not much for the morphs, but that little scute is clean and pink! Thanks for sharing!
