That's Ted Thompson's critter... I think it's for sale, actually. Pretty cool animal, if you ask me.

of how it was produced(see Ted's website)is even more interesting than the snake. Talk about perseverance...

I'm with you, Doug. While it's a cool friggin' animal, I'm partial to the colors and patterns sculpted over the eons by nature.

Nice easterns!

Cole, I think that is the first time I've seen that part of your collection, very nice!

I was showing some of my collection to some "non-herp" friends (I'm sure all you "crazy snake people" understand where I'm coming from) and I actually got a more interested response from my wc normal female than the amel male. Quotes like "You found THAT around here?", and "It's actually pretty nice looking for a SNAKE".

Some are obviously nicer looking than others, but they are all unique.

I keep a small colony of easterns in addition to the multistrata, gentilis, syspila, celaenops, and Latin American stuff. They're fun and pretty in their own, quiet way.

I've had similar experiences regarding non-herp friends. Some are totally weirded out by the situation, while others are actually sort of intrigued by the animals. It's cool to see non-herpers faces light up at the sight of an animal, isn't it?!

Ambystoma tigrinum melanostictum

Phrynosoma hernandesi

Bufo cognatus (road-cruised with the infamous Brian Hubbs, Dell Despain, and Ryan Nafts)

And a parting shot of milk habitat in Carbon Co., MT facing the Beartooth Mountains. The shot is taken in the Bighorn Basin, an inter-mountian semidesert located between the Pryor and Beartooth Mountains.

Isnt necessarily the albino itself(although it is pretty smoking!)but that morphs will popularize what has been the least "popular" milk. More morphs means more easterns kept which means more variation, and pretty hets and dbl hets!
