I posted this pic a while ago, but didn't get much of a response. Here's the history:
This photo probably represents the first leucistic eastern hognose (Heterodon platyrhinos) ever found. This snake was found just outside of Chesterton, Indiana in 1975. The snake was found by Dr. Robert Werth at Purdue University Calumet. Unfortunately, the snake was given to a kid to keep as a pet. Back then they didn't think much of "albino" snakes.
Anyone ever find another one of these?

great story! I love that snake! Man, that would be a dream to find one of those!

What ever happened to the Leucistic Westerns? I might be looking to buy some soon, but can't find anybody that has them.
The story I got was they were confiscated.

Thats also what I heard. But, if I remember correctly, there where some 66% possible hets for sale on the classifieds a year or two ago for around $500.
