If I remember correctly, the guy who bred it was only a beginner,
and he'd stuffed up the incubation along the way, and out came this albino.
Snake ranche I think not only bought the snake, but the whole clutch which also
included Mum and Dad.
Thats what I heard, so dont take it as gospel, but if someone no's a different
story and would like to share it ????

Talks cheap, but its amazing how when the money actually has to be put on the table the talkers dissappear. As an investment an Albino hatchy is a long way from returning any income . There is no garantee its even heritable . It may die. I have heard of half a dozen different albino anteresia over the past few years but they are still not readily available, so its not as easy to establish a new type of snake as all those who haven't done it make out. |

The CB (that cost $8k) one also had some deformities from memory? I don't know what form of Antaresia it was though.

Why would they Hold an animal and not allow it to be released?? Wither release or give it to a breeder if it is going to be held Captive.
