Wide Orange Banded Tangerine Albino

Msoar16 Jun 16, 2010 10:28 AM

I am looking around to try and find quality breeders that produce tangerine albinos's that have wide orange banding that does not fade with age and minimal white banding. Seems majority of the albinos that I see have a majojority of red with narrow orange and wide white bands. Is anyone producing anything like this? Also wondering if anyone is producing a bi-color albino that is more orange than red?

You mean like this? Email Nate Wells, he's got my albino hondos. You'll see him post on here every now and then.

Yes and no. Pattern like that, but orange and not red.

I don't know that I'd call this "minimal" white banding, but do you mean like this one?

Yes, like that. I just don't like the albino's that look like they have as much white as red/orange and I really would like to find one that has the red in more of a orange shade. So I guess I should have said a bi-color orange albino.

I like the snakes with more color, myself.

I dunno how much we're allowed to advertise for other breeders or not....but I got my hondos from a small hobby breeder with the user name of HGCExotics. He was nice to deal with, and the snakes were reasonably priced. If you'd like his email address, send me a private email!

Here are a few of mine. They are very vanished and pin-banded as well, but I also have a few thicker white ringed examples too. Additionally, their white is also very pure white with no yellow hue.

These are far more tangerine/orange than the photos display for some weird reason. Many times my camera tends to depict oranges as more red than they actually are in real life. Very frustrating to say the least when trying to capture a specimen's true colors..LOL!
