I live in North Caronlina and today a came across a juvenile northern water snake in the wild that is without a doubt an albino. It is not this years offspring....maybe one or two years back. It is orange to peach with cream color markings. I am looking for anyone that has had experience with albino northerns or has any to find out more info. I have had as many as 250 snake at one time in my collection, but never a water snake. thebvr@yahoo.com

I tell you what. I will send you a money order for about $20 or so and you cans end me the snake lol. I realy wish that water snakes were a little more popular. They give live berth. They look much bettr than many of the popular ones and are just as easy o keep. You should keep it like a corn snake. Maybe slightly bigger water bowl. DO NOT keep it in an aquatic or even simiaqautic setup. You should try to switch to f/t mice by scenting it with fish. If you would be intersted in getting rid of it I would tkae it, htough I'm sure you would not want to. I plan on breeding a few snake species next year and that would make a great breeder. I have a few other waters that I will breed too. Get some pics.

I LOVE watersnakes! An albino would be totally tripindicular! You could have a bidding war going on if you want to sell it. Or no one will know about it so you will get not much of anything. I WANT IT THOUGH!
