Then there are Iowa Plains Snows...like my Possum...which is a kind of albino. And I suppose there are also Iowa Plains albinos...or albino T.radixes. If anyone has a pic of one of those, I would like to see it. Snows are pure pink..they don't have patterning like albinos.

Usually when they say "Iowa plains" (or "Iowa albino) They're talking about a T- albino plains. And "Iowa snow plains" just means that the snake is a T- snow. That is, Iowa albino + anerythristic combo morph. Then of course, "nebraska" snow is the same thing, only the albino part is T+.

Again, "Iowa" is T- , "Nebraska" is T+. Why they don't just call them T+ or T- is beyond me because not all T- are from Iowa anymore, and not all T+ lines originate in Nebraska. That's just how it was in the beginning.

"Iowa snow plains" and "Nebraska snow plains" both snakes are anerythristic plus albino. The only difference is, one is T-(Iowa) and one is T+ (nebraska)

If I remember right, you ended up with my snows which I got from Julio when they were just a month or two old. One of them had a funny tilt to his head and every now and then, he would actually flip over and crawl upside down.
