Dan, here are a couple that display the white tipping. This occures in albinos just as it would in a "normal" milksnake with melanin(dark pigmentation), only it has no melanin within the melanocyte, so it shows as white(void). This tendency can usually increase somewhat as the animal ages.


best regards, ~Doug
