female Mandarin; beautiful but shy.

close up of a rhyno. This girl blew up way too big, way too soon and I thought for sure she would get egg-bound. However, she drop a few eggs (infertile) before her pre-shed, and then an egg each day for about three random days and finally layed four fertile eggs. I was just glad she survived the ordeal.

an albino Korean ratsnake. I like the baby colors better but either way, they make great albinos.

Nice looking snake! If you do not mind saying, who or where did you get your albino Korean Rats from?

Thanks for letting me know. I bought a pair of hets a few years ago at a show in Kansas City (not Larry). After I got home I got to thinking about the origin of the albino line in the USA and who was the original source. I wished I had ask the vender where he got his breeders from. The vender was selling the parents, a albino female and normal male. I maybe mistaken, but I do not think Larry was the first breeder. I first heard that Larry was selling albino hatchlings about the same time my pair started to produce.

At the risk of sounding foolish these snakes are actually from Korea ?
I lived there for 2 years and the winter is so COLD so long with just a short summer I couldnt imagine a reptile there.

thanks

Wow, I bet you were pretty worried. With any luck, next year willl go better. Hopefully you get some get offspring when the good ones hatch. You've sure got some beautiful Asians.
