Hi, doe's anyone know of a albino eastern milksnake breed???. Thanks Scott

I don't know of any breeders. I've never even heard of more than a handful of people owning easterns. I have one, and she was my frist snake. I got her here in Maryland, which is apparantly not good because they are native to this area. I don't know. I hope you find a breeder!

0.1 Irian Jaya carpet python
0.1 Ball python
0.3 Crested Geckos
2.2.7 Leopard Geckos (male-jungle, hypo tangerine carrot tail. female-normal, albino. babies-leucistic, blizzard, normal)
0.1 Western Hognose snake
1.0 Eastern Milksnake (currently free roaming in my home =/)
1.0 Albino Lavender California Kingsnake
1.1 Bearded Dragons
0.2 Water turtles
1.0 Umbrella Cockatoo (belongs to my mom and I)

Albino eastern milk snakes are still rare. And some people do not believe the line is 100% eastern milk because of how similar the albinos look to another species of snakes(I'm blanking on the name right now). There is someone in PA working with the albino eastern milk snakes to establish the line, I have his name somewhere.

The albinos should surface on the market within a few years.

Do you have his email address or phones number. Thanks Scott

I live in the Cincinnati area.
About 15 years ago a friend of mine (he's a profesional herpetologist so trustworthy) caught an amel in this area that was KILLER.

It was almost completely patternless and basically the color of the tangerine band of Honduruan milk. Underside was yellow.

I know it sounds like a fairy tale...and as far as I know no photos exist of the animal. It was collected and given to the guy who was the pres of the Cinci herp society at the time.

He moved out of town...and the animals whereabouts are unknown.
Likely it either died or was sold.

Also...some albinos were collected in Colubus area 15 or 20 years ago. I saw those in person at the Columbus reptile show, Don Hamper had them I believe. They looked a lot like the above photo.

The breeder is Gary Heckenberger of Bethlehem Pa.

Unfortunately he has a new phone number and I don't have it. Can't help with an e-mail address. I'd suggest a new post asking if anyone has any info on him.

Eastern Milks DO look like corns so I'm not surprised.
