One heck of a nice looking "reverse" amel Hondo,.huh??

LOL!!!,...kiddin' of course..LOL!

I can't remember now where the heck I got this pic from, but I have tons of cool stuff on my computer that was sent to me by other snake buddies over the years, but I just came across this awesome albino Eastern Coral Snake photo, and thought some of you would really appreciate seeing this!. This thing is unreal!

enjoy!, ~Doug

yup, a big favorite albino of mine too, I posted that guy a few times before Doug. It was a TX coral from e. TX as I recall and someone from ETHS probably cruises these forums and can fill in the blanks on it.
If I remember, it passed...
Too bad.

is that the peppered flecks on the Red are actually Black on black not black on red, do hatchling corals have flecks?
Do you thing a black milk Amel (so to speak" LOL)would mature to a totaly white snake or would it remain an amel tri color for life

>> "the peppered flecks on the Red are actually Black on black not black on red"

I'm not sure I understand what you just said there. Corals very typically have some black speckling in their red bands. So this would obviously change to white when amelanism is involved.

I think(but not 100% certain)) that a genuine amel Black Milk would have a bunch of white tipping on it, but would not become ALL white as it changed ontogenically, and still be very noticeably a tricolor. This would indeed be very interesting as you mentioned.

ok.Is the coral born with the black flecks or is it too an ontogenic change with age as i have only seen adults and young adults and yes they all have had the flecks of black

heres a pic of my neighbor with a snake he just found and brought it to me (snake on a stick) for an ID ,he said "Is this a" and i replied "yes thats a" and its the biggest one i have seen BTW Doug,can you use your computor savey and get the length of this coral? Thanks

Well, as far as I know, the neonates tend to have a good amount of speckling on the red right from the start. But I'm not real sure if they ALSO tend to get more as they mature though. This pic below will attest to this(not the smartest of stunts though..LOL!)

Hard to say exactly, but it looks to be well over three feet to me judging by the guy with it, which is certainly a large one for sure. The largest I've ever heard of as far as a true "documented" record length is 47" inches long. It was found consuming a cornsnake larger than itself decades ago.

later bro!, ~Doug

The Texas Coral snakes are born with Black specks in the red.....No ontogenesis that I have witnessed.

On the other hand......Arizona Corals have close to no black speckling at all.....
