There's an albino thayeri for sale in the classifieds. I've never heard of one before. Colors remind me of a Fluorescent cornsnake.

>>It's a hybrid between L.ruthveni and L.m.thayeri, or even a possible L.t.nelsoni and L.m.thayeri....It should be labeled as a pastel king I believe and Steve Osborne made them pretty famous. As far as I know there is no known pure albino thayeri in the hobby today...

Correct....
If the amel ruthveni gene was used it would be called a Pastel king.
If the amel nelsoni gene was used it would be called a Candy Colored Clown King.....LOL....Really though.....

There was one Albino thayeri that hatched in Austin in 1993 I believe...it was killed by its sibling mate a few years later.......

And...that ad along with the albino Mex Mex ad should be moved to the Hybrid Classifieds........
Not a bad price on the amel thayeri though.....LOL
