what a total loss! i just got an email from texasreptiles. the people that owned the snake, and of course it died this spring. Hopefully another will turn up somewhere. And since knowbody replied to the first post I posted knowbody knows jack about albino eastern hogs or cares to she some insite. i guess only albino westerns are on everybodys mind. oh well.

I'm sorry to here that it died. I remember seeing that picture a couple months ago and was thinking about e mailing them like you did. I wanted to know if they were going to breed it. It looked like a real pretty snake. I don't think I ever heard of any other albino easterns but there has got to be more. How did it die?

I dont know how it died. I asked them when I replied to their email and of course I didnt get any feed back. I remember e-mailing them a while back asking about the snake and they didnt respond so i was shocked to see that they responded the second time.

Probably a typical eastern. WC, refused to eat, stressed, and it kicked the bucket. Such a shame. If there was one, there are bound to be others. I figure I'll have one by fall 2004 lol. Andy

Well if by some chance you do get an "albino eastern hog" then tell me. And by you saying that do you know someone else who has one?

Nope, but now I have a goal. I find a fair number of hogs each year so the way I see it, it is only a matter of time Haha...I can keep dreaming can't I? Andy
