"This definite double het is certainly "showing" the whitewall trait in my opinion..... "

I remember a post were a guy posted one from Missouri like that and asked if it was some kind of morph. 2 herpers said they are common in parts of Missouri.

Well here's what the w/c Louisiana WhiteWall looks like:

It is very similar to the w/c whitewall that started the morph in the hobby years ago, but through generations of line breeding this is what they look like now:

And they have varying degrees of pattern up to almost no pattern at all except on the head and neck with a few spots down the dorsum.

Here's another picture of one of my Het Whitewalls....

Looks very similar to the wild caught Louisiana specimen but has more yellow than white coloration......But that is typical for their range....the yellowest being from the East Texas area and the whiter ones are found in the eastern part of their range towards the Mississippi River......Eastern Louisiana.....

That would be something to find under some AC. Does that original look ever come out or are they all come out like that reduced one?

John, where was that one from Louisiana captured?. I was only ever aware of the original whitewall line from the one that was captured by Keith Albert in Carter County, Missouri back in 1985, then was later acquired by Terry Vandeventer many years later?

If there is another line from a different source, then that is pretty interesting for sure.

Missouri......that's right......I forgot but should've remembered since Ross eluded to it above.....

In 2009 the Louisiana animal was found by Dale Pierrottie and Chris Holland in Lafayette Parish Bayou Vermilion District..........South Louisiana.....
