Could somebody kindly post a picture of their adult Albino Bechtel annectans? All I can find online are pics of babies.

Thanks!

Thanks Jason,

I'm trying to figure out if I just have a dirty Applegate or if some of the hets its carrying are showing through. This snake's father was a San Diego Snow 100% het Applegate and Bechtel and the mother is Applegate 100% het Bechtel.

I bought him in part because of my need for a male applegate (though he isn't clean like mine), and in part because he's a multi-het, but I've never seen an Applegate that looks so polluted. My Applegate female (from the previous post) doesn't have a single scale in a white area that has that red on it.

I've never worked with San Diego albinos other than the Applegates.

Thoughts?

The mother looks like an Applegate and yours looks like Bechtel. But once the 2 albino strains are mixed it going to near imposable to tell visually because they can be influenced by each other gene pole. It becomes a mess to label them. Nice looking snakes, all of them.

So here is to still hoping I can find a true pure Applegate for my female by next year. The multi hets can be fun all on their own, but I'll only breed that male with my applegate if I can't find another male...

Thanks Jason!
