OT, but very unique

My friend Carl who owns and operates a venom lab here in Central Florida called me the other day and said he had something really cool come in. She is a wild caught albino Eastern Coral snake which was found here in Central Florida last week. She really glows in person, hopefully the pics can translate how beautiful she really is. Thanks George

Amazing & beautiful animal.

Question though?

Does the old adage 'Red touch yellow kill a fellow' still apply?

Lol...beautiful but deadly baby!

georget22 May 24, 2009 05:48 PM

Guess not in this case, lol. She is definitely hot in more ways than one.

zefdin May 24, 2009 06:03 PM

Its still Red touch yellow here, just no Red touch black, but that doesnt matter in this case.

Yes she was wild caught by animal control last week, a typical call in from someone who had a snake in thier yard. This was a nice surprise.

That's a beautiful animal. She also appears gravid.

Yes she is, thats a nice little bonus, you can see the eggs in the whites areas. There are a few sets of crossed fingers over there, thanks George

I live in florida and I know what those look like, but about how big are they?
Those look small, like baby corn snake small.. Is that right?

They are both around 20 inches, she is an adult and possibly gravid.

hey a call to animal control is much better than a chop with the shovel with this beatiful snake i hate when people chop up beatiful snakes like that

I doubt it simply because he has over 35 or so Corals on his line at any one time, and the fact that they are sometimes very stubborn feeders, i think he may just tuck her away.

What county in central Florida?

georget22 May 26, 2009 03:39 AM
