ALBINO E. DIAMONDBACK RATTLESNAKE

TOM_CRUTCHFIELD Feb 02, 2009 07:20 PM

This forum seems a little slow and one of my breeder male albino EDB'S had just shed so I thought I'd take a pic or two. I really like these. Back in the day I had 4 w.c. ones brought in and this guy is a direct descendent of one that was caught near Gainesville, Fl. Actually 2 of the 4 came from near Gainesville. Hope you enjoy the pic as much as I like the snake...

__Back in the day I had 4 w.c. ones__

You had four w.c. albino easterns? I guess you would be the
"go to" man, wouldn't you? The one you show there is a beauty!

see the trees, the plants, birds, animals, feel their life. And feel your own life.

Two came from near Gainesville, one near Valdosta, GA., and a different kind of albino EDB that came from S. Alabama. I don't know what happened to that one as to date NO ONE has produced an albino that looked like it. It was pink and white very unlike the ones produced today....
