He is solid pink all over..no pattern because he is an Iowa Snow Plains (T.radix)...the snows, from what I understand don't tend to have patterns...like some of the other albinos can...like my albino checkered.

Ok, just wondering, the if the garter morphs had the same meanings as Leo morphs.

I as thinking he was going to be grey and white instead of all pink

Lol...he is so interesting to watch. I will have to get a video soon so that you guys can see him in action. I can't even explain it really..you just have to see him...he slithers sideways and lifts himself up off the ground with his neck straight up and his head upside down...he flips all around the tank...and he is fast. He's bigger than I thought he would be...he is long...longer than a foot, but not much bigger than Hermes in diameter. He loves to climb and he will climb straight up out of the tank if I have it open. He is very alert...he will look right at me and come over to see me...but he is still very jumpy...so if I get too close, he will jump across the tank. When I hold him, he ties himself up into little knots like a pretzel and actually constricts around my fingers and hand. He ate half a large pinky tonight. Here is a pic...kind of blurry...but I wanted you to see him being a pretzel on my hand:

I do always have to have in the back of my mind the fact that I must be prepared in case something should happen with him. I have to remember that he does have neurological problems and that I can't really know just how severe they are or the cause..and know that he could suddenly pass on without warning. This is something I knew going into this. I did not go into this lightly. I knew that I although my hope is that Possum will thrive, and that the fact that he is almost a year old and made it this far is definitely a good sign, I must also know that there is also the chance that I may be giving him the best life I can for the life that he has left. All I know, is that no matter how long he lives...he deserves the best life I can give him. He is very high functioning...he can do everything on his own..everything a snake without neuro problems can do. He drinks normally..right side up. He finds the water dish...no problem. He finds his food and eats without assistance, no problem. He climbs, albeit, with his head upside down..but he loves to climb. He slithers..sideways, but quickly. He does tend to flop against the glass of the tank some...but as I said before, he can also find his way out if he wants out. He can may eye contact and is aware of me...he comes to see me. He likes to sleep hanging upside down in his hanging plant. He kind of reminds me of a very high functioning person with cerebral palsy...if that makes any sense to anyone. Only time will tell with little Possum.
