Congradulations! You say it looks different from the ones you see in pics...Have you been looking at pics of babies...or adults? If you are new to these, they do change.

I have caught and kept dozens of those (being just miles away fron their native turf. They are very low maintenance, hardy and simple to breed.

Good luck with your new snake,

Frank

im starting to think hes not an everglades... is there such thing as albino everglades?? hes definately albino (all white w/ red eyes)... i just think the store had no idea what they were talking about (happens alot i hear lol)
the pattern... if i were to describe, is hard because its such a pale color. ermmm the pics i took of my uromastyx didnt come out too well so maybe ill try to borrow a good camera or soemthing to show everyone.

Have you been able to get a good pic of him yet? Post it here once you do and I'm sure someone will be able to identify it.
