How difference between albino nelsoni and albino hondurensis?
I got albino hondurensis breeder pair. Some people said that its is not albino hondurensis but its is albino nelsoni. Please let me know..

Here's my albino Nelsoni female, notice her head is completly pink/white, hondurans have a snout ring. i'll post a honduran pic next.

here a pic of my hypo male, if you completely remove the black pigment you'll have an albino honduran, you'll see red/orange-> pink/white-> red/orange (albino honduran) as oppose to pink/white-> yellow band-> pink/white (albino nelsoni)
Hope that helps

This is the snout of my Albino honduran (tricolor) milksnake that ZFelicien was talking about.

that's a nice tricolor Honduran, I'm getting a tricolor pair from someone on the 17th. hopefully I get one or both that looks as good as yours. I'm jealous!!!

Thanks man for your kind words. And I just want to share with you my female Albino hondo (tricolor). Have a good one!

the female looks even better, who would tell you albino Nelsoni, they look nothing like albino Nelsoni. I just hope my pair have that much red. I don't really like the Hondurans that appear more white. hopefully they have a better start than my hypos. my `03 male looks like an `04.
well good luck with the pair. are they `04?

Yup, the female does look better huh... and I agree with you that I like to see more vivid colors in albino hondos than whites. Might as well get a snow if more whites are seen huh? hehehe...

Anyhow, yeah, they are early 2004 but for some reason they really are growing so fast... so i see no problem them being of breeding size by spring 2006.

Thanks and your hypo looks great as well !!!

Thank you for all of answer

i just realized you're not the individual that posted the oridinal question... u still have a very nice pair of tricolor albinos.

Nope, I was not the original individual that posted the question. I was merely assisting in answering the original question by posting pics of my albinos with close up of their snouts (since you mentioned about the "snout" difference between an albino honduran from an albino nelsoni.

thanks,
