    Re: Albino T.s.parietalis on the Ranch

    I just got back from where this albino was found. I met the guy that found it for the first time today. It's such a small world. He tells me I had all 4 of his kids in the D.A.R.E. program and that his son became a police officer because of my time with him.

    I didn't see any snakes today. It was in the low 70's and sunny.
    He did tell me that he saw another lighter colored snake. He said it was small and must have went down a hole because it just disappeared.
    Hoping this lighter colored one will survive the Winter and maybe next Spring I can find it.
    Here's a photo of the den entrance.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Okay, here's the deal:

    1) Send the snake to ME
    2) Introduce Snake to Eastern ladies of persuasion (aka Stewie & Midnight)
    3) Snake, me and Ladies happy campers

    Well you know there's at least hets living there. Another albino is likely to happen if that's the case. Just a matter of being in the right place at the right time for spotting one. Since this is a den, being there early in the season when things warm up, I'd say that's the right place and time.
