Posted some new photos of the erythristic albino on my website so I thought I would share them here as well.
The first photo was taken on 6-4-09 a day after birth. The next 2 photos below are of same exact snake taken 6 months later today on 12-13-09. This photo comparison demonstrates the color ontogeny associated with the erythristic gene, the red-orange color will continue to intensify into adulthood, this snake and future offspring of this snake will continue to get better looking with age and size, he's is still quite small and not yet eating pinkies, but I can't wait to see what this male snake looks like in a year from now, and even better can't wait to see what an adult female will look like, but thats going to take a couple years. Scott if you wouldn't mind posting a photo of one of your males, I know one of your males that you produced had a lot more color than mine did at birth, so would guess it's smoking hot.
