True erythristic albino eastern...From the Myrtle Beach bloodline. Erythristics look normalish at birth but expect this line to color up dramatically as it matures.

Awesome!I imagine when it colors up it will be red and pink!

Big Congrats Scott!!! Wow, Thats one of the coolest projects going right now-in my oppinion. There might be some people saying it looks just like a normal albino, no big deal, but I think when you take a picture of that snake in a few months and/or especially in a year, it will be "THE" snake to have, as the erys has proven go thru ontogenetic pigmentation changes, we shall see. Of course it would have been nice to see several albinos to compare for variance, but hey, count your blessings right?
Congrats again,
Jeff

Thanks you guys. It will be interesting to see the color changes it will go through. A couple of males from the Myrtle Beach double hets bred to the Carteret Cty double hets look like they could possibly be ery albinos too. I will hang onto the group of albinos and will preiodically post pics of them as they gain size and color.

Congratulations Scott!! You are the garter Guru!!Like everyone else I'm so looking forward to pics as the colors develope!! Jeff

Thanks a lot Jeff. I was hopeful there would be coloring but realistically didn't think there would be as the normal erythristics aren't colorful either at birth. I'll try and post consistently so we can see the gradual color change as it happens. If I get lax, you all are welcome to email me and give me a kick in the a _ _ to do this lol
