Someone earlier posted a nice picture of the albino rainbow. I was just curious how they came across the picture and are there any more to be seen? It is a very interesting looking animal.

Leucistic Epicrates cenchria. I am not sure what subspecies. This PIC is several years old and AFAIK this snake died after being imported.

Amelanistic Epicrates cenchria. ???????????

Ghost RB belonging to Bodacious Boas

I just want the full glass I paid for !

Thanks for the pics! They were exactly what I was looking for. Very unique animals indeed.

Let me ask a question though, why is there all this secrecy with the status of these animals (except the ghost of course)? If I was ever lucky enough to have an amelanistic or leucistic animal I would be thrilled to share with everyone. Am I just being nieve?

Anyway, thanks for the pictures. I am going to try to post some of my pics here in the next day or so, I am not the greatest photog but we will see.

Have a great weekend all.

The reason you don't see alot of these animals is because of a simple reason ( or equation I guess you could call it ). Rare/investment animals = money = greed/malice = someone breaking into your house/facility and stealing your Rare/invesment animal. It has happened many a time, and it has led to many herpers not letting the general public in on these new animals. I know people who's facility is miles away from thier house, or alarmed/well secured if they keep their animals where they live. It is in the best interest of the person and animal, and is not to be perceived as someone hiding the " next best thing "
