OK lets try this again. Previous Post was deleted. Photo had our bus. card info on it. Sorry.

Here is a picture of the Albino Mexican Milksnake for those of you who missed our unveiling this past weekend at the NARBC show in Anaheim.

Thanks for looking,

What is the origin of that snake? Was it bred into albino Nelson's for the amel gene?

The Albino Mexican Milksnake is just that 100% pure Lampropeltis t. annulata.

We produced the albinos from a pair of captive bred babies that I bought from my former business partner Bill Cobb. Bill had produced the babies from an adult pair of wc adults that were collected together under an old refrigerator door in freer, Texas back in the mid 1990's. We later bought the original WC adults and proved out the female to be het. albino.

I will be posting a more detailed information of the albinos on our new web site www.albinoannulata.com I hope to have it up and running within the next few weeks.

beautiful...and with the legitimacy you cite in your post below, another exciting door open for milksnake fans.

Terry,

Thanks for the kind words. I will be posting a few more pics of them later in the week.

This is the second genetic trait I've heard of in Mexican milksnakes that originated from specimens found in Freer. The other is the spotted pattern. Either there are a lot of milksnakes in Freer, or there's something in the water!
Beautiful snake!

DANG, that is a gorgeous snake! Much nicer than other albino tri-color spps IMO.
