Reptile & Amphibian Forums

My first question is what exactly is a tangerine albino? I really like the look, but am not familiar with it. My second question is how do you tell if a Kenyan is a true dodoma? I have seen one at the reptile expo but I don't want to drop $250 on a snake that I don't know if it is a true Dodoma.

Most dodomas are NOT pure. I don't work with dodoma, so hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.

As far as tangerine albinos go..... There are a few people tossing around that name but I am not sure it is proven. I have a pair of albinos that I have been calling 'caramel' albinos, but they look similar to the 'tangerine' albinos.

One of my 'albinos' I produced in a litter of babies 2 years ago. The sire of the litter is an unusually light colored male that is het for anery. The dame of the litter is a normal looking albino (PH anery). I picked up a similar looking female last year at the Tinley park show. A large breeder had a bag full (I mean FULL) of baby sand boas, I was after a nice snow, but found the odd ball albino and purchased it. I hope to breed them together in 2011.

Female I found at the Tinley show.

The male that I produced:

Sire to the one above
