NEED TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS HAD LONGTERM SUCCESS WITH ALBINO R.E.S.? I HEARD THAT THEY DONT DO TO WELL, THEY SURVIVE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THEY DIE. IS THIS ACCURATE, I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE SELLING BABIES BUT ARE THERE ANY ADULTS? THANKS, ANTHONY

While I do not personally own any albinos I can tell you that this is not true at all. I personally know several people with albino adults that do very well. Also -- many times on the Kingsnake classifieds I have seen adult albino pairs for sale.

Two headeds are known for failing at young a age but albinos -- no so.

The only problem with them is that many tend to have very poor eyesight as they have no pigment in their eyes and cannot focus on light very well. They do adapt to this.
