Does anyone have pics or know who has produced a Snow Southern Pine? If so could you post a pic or leave some info? thanks Ron

What do you mean by snow? The whitest pines I have ever seen have been Mark Bell's but he calls them blizzards. Either way they are extremely white with red eyes. as far as how to contatct him...I don't know, I've just seen him at shows. Specifically the one in Indy.

I never heard of a Blizzard Southern Pine. Sure you're not referring to a gopher of sorts? I live by Indy so I may run into him at a show. thanks Ron

You may be right. But they are so. pines. He might call them snow. I thought I remember them being labeled as blizzard but, as always, I could be wrong. At any rate, I've never seen one past the age of yearling and they are super white. He also has some of the whitest leucistics that I have seen.

I think he is describing an albino leucistic southern pine. that would be a white paternless snake with red eyes. I have heard of them too, but not too much abot them...

You're probably right. Except these seem to be born white, not pink. Anyway, the price he puts on them is outrageous.

Hi Ron,
Here's my snow southen pine at approximately 1 year old. His coloration at the time was lavernder and white. These guys seem to undergo ontogenic changes around 1.5 years old. My female now has a white background with a lemon and lime bloch coloration. She is currently in the blue. I will get some photos posted of her as soon as she sheds.

That is an awesome specimen.. I just hatched out a snow, waiting for the last 2 eggs to hatch. Only 3 eggs were good in the clutch. thanks for sharing!!!! Ron
