There are Albino's out there and Will Still has a nice looking male Im sure if he reads this he can post a pic of it. There was at one time a Patternless Eastern but I dont think anybody did anything with it. I saw the first pic of it like 10 years or more ago and havent seen anything since.

Patternless Eastern? Any idea on where it was caught, or was it a result of breeding? How did it compare to the Eastern Black King (L.g.niger?)

I know nothing of the history but I think Steve Hammock(sp) sent me the pic via mail years ago. I still have the pic somewhere Ill have to dig it up. It looked different than a Nigra its lower sides had a cream stripe running the length of it.

Man, I'd love to get my hands on that thing! That is (was) an awesome snake.

Here he is last summer. I'm raising a couple of pairs of very nice looking hets from him and a very orange S. GA eastern female. My goal is to eventually make some red/orange banded albino easterns with high, thin chains. Thanks for looking.
