Has anyone seen or even have pics of an albino or amelanistic spectacled cobra? I could be mistaken but I may have heard ("Reptiles" November 1996 Mailbag-I think) that hybridization has been instrumental in passing the albino gene to species that are similiar (i.e. Egyptian Sand Boa to Kenyan Sand Boa or Pacific Gopher snake to San Diego Gopher)and I was wondering if anyone else has attemted to produce Albino Spectacleds using this method from Albino Monocleds. Yes, I know if an albino spectacled was somehow produced by means of this it would essentially have Kaouthia in its background thus hindering the purity but I was just curious.
Another question>>> While on this subject, has an albino Crotalus Ruber been produced (via above mentioned means only this time with an Albino Atrox somewhere in its ancestry)? Sorry, I LOVE RATTLERS WITH COONTAILS!! (atrox, scutes, rubers)
