I thought some of you might enjoy seeing a leucistic form of a species that most people don't get to see in normal form. It's not from the US but south of the border. I found him crossing the road at night. The pic doesn't show the actual color. I can't seem to get a good pic. He's translucent, you can see all the internal organs, lung, beating heart, etc. He's blue eyed, snow white, and has a faint pattern. Anyone want to guess the species? I'll post it in a couple days.

That's what I think too,...maybe "L. punctata".

When I originally collected it I was sure that it was a L. punctata but after checking meristics it turned out to be Hypsiglena torquata.
