Just picked up an albino milk but not sure of the locale. hondo?

That is actually an amelanistic(albino) captive-bred "hobby" Honduran milksnake since it has no locale per se. I am guessing what you really meant to say was...what subspecies of milksnake would this snake be?, and what locale are they naturally from?.

Their natural range is the Pacific versant of El Salvador, Honduras,Nicaragua, and just into northwestern Costa Rica.

Hope you enjoy it!. I and many other's here sure do love to work with them among other types of milks...

And a very normal tri-color

A normal tangerine phase variant

Another normal tangerine from the early 90's before any morphs were in the hobby.

Another tangerine from the same era.

an amelanistic(albino)

a normal tricolor sub-adult.....

an older, darker tricolor adult

and of course the head of a normal tricolor breeder adult

While I don't share your enthusiasm for all the red-eyed variations displayed in hondo's... your photo montage is an impressive cross section of all things hondo... love those tangerines. Very cool post!

Thanks Gerry,.......yes, although I do have a good number of amel's and other genetic morphs, I also have many normal types of different snakes and really appreciate those too. Some even more so than any of the morphs. Like you, I have always loved the normal tangerines very much..

I payed a whopping $200 bucks for that nice clean tangerine in the photo that is coiled up outside there. I acquired it from Jim Mabe of CCR. Shannon and Scott Ballard are very familiar with him as well.

Hope all of your and Nate's sweet animals are doing nicely this season.

great series of shots!

Is that normal tri-color in your hand the one you got from me?

-Rusty

Thanks a bunch Rusty,....

Actually, that normal in my hand was a het anery I produced back in 2004 from my original BHB anery line that I acquired back in 1996.

Like so many other brand new high-end morphs in this hobby, it's funny to think back that I actually had to pay a whopping $1200 bucks for an anery and normal het pair of hatchlings, which were the parent's to the normal/het in my hand..LOL!!

BTW, those normal het's from the "mega" line I did get from you are doing just great bro!.

Stuarti...right?

Like one of these?

Yes, a good number of the very old original lines of these certainly did seem to have stuarti type characteristics to them.
