|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Jun-05 Location: Sydney Age: 43 | | | | I'm with Mags. A white snake with Diamond markings on it. Firstly, if this guy is merely a farmer and not a herper how does he know what Diamond markings are anyway??? Only today I had lunch with a guy who told me of his nephew who kepts snakes just like mine. Only white. Yeah, little skinny ones. I know another local farmer who can sex red bellies as he drives past them in his ute. There is no problem with these people not knowing their snakes as well as they think they do but you need to take their word with a bit of caution.
If is it a Diamond then it must be an escaped pet because there ain't any wild ones up there. And what are the chances of an escaped pet white snake on the gold coast being a Diamond as opposed to, say, as Mags said, a Corn, or a boa or even a Burmese (small ones of course). It could, of course, be a Darwin.
But mate by all means check this out. if it is a Diamond in Qld then it shouldn't be released anyway as it is not native to the area.
But please, let us all know what it turns out to be (unless of course it is a Diamond - then lie and say it was a corn anyway so that we don't all try to bust down your doors)

I have a friend that caught a albino corn snake in the cane fields at the sunshine coast but had to surrender it because it was a Australia zoo call out . DOH!!!

| | | Well I got a pxt of it today, to my knowledge it is an albino diamond. It is only about 3 - 4 ft at the moment. I am going to view on sunday, I will take pics no matter what it is and post in thread. I wasn't trying to lie to anyone on this forum. The price is a bit difficult to explain, lets just say that I can get something this guy wants for $750
The simple thing is 'Pics or it didnt happen'  . |

|  | hazzy wazzy Subscriber | | | | | If it was genuine, pm him my number and I will give him $30,000, but i doubt you would pass on my details hey!
How about if you get it, you PM me and when you have had it for 6 months, I'll give you $30,000, we have a deal?

If its a boy and you can put it over several female Diamonds, you could sell each het for over $5k a piece. You might be able to make a couple of hundred thousand dollars in the first successful breeding year. You'd be the only kid on the block. If it's a girl, well you'd get less, but still more than 30k the first year. Remember though, it was a corn snake and you never did a thing 
I love this speculation based on hearsay
