I contacted the Denver Zoo and this is the response I got.

["Denver Zoo received snakes from a confiscation two years ago which included a leucistic hognose snake. The attached photo shows the snake shortly after we received it. (Although has grown since the photo was taken.) That male snake became the property of the Denver Zoo as part of the legal dispositions by the court. Although the snake is not on public exhibit, we do still have that snake in our collection.

Thanks for your interest in the Zoo! "]

Now we know the rest of the story!

theres more then one out thier .seen lots of pics in the gallery,here or at [bleep].they had a hole litter.and the guy made hets to.sorry to keep mixing it up.

The Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City, Kansas has a WC albino Eastern Hognose for years which was exhibited in their education department. Just on a side note, we received a WC completely maroon snake at the Texas Zoo in Victoria where I used to work. Stupidly, I didn't keep the snake, being an Aggie.
