    Re: I found an Albino Garden Snake

    IMG_2931 (640x480).jpgyou can see a pipe to the left side of the curb where the driveway slopes then at the entry of the home walking up to door is a walkway under the number 120 is a bush. Ok with all that in mind summertime I saw a normal dark color medium in size go under that bush while I was weeding it freaked me out so much I quit weeding for the day. Fast forward to Oct. 23rd. at the bottom of the walkway while decorating for Halloween about 3 feet from that pipe at the curb I saw Casper. Like I said I thought at first she was a kids halloween decoration but she moved. She was so little and light in color and for some reason didn't scare me so I picked her up and I put her into a tupperware container until I got to the pet store and that's where the story starts.

    Being that time of year, this is apparently where some northwesterns choose to spend the winter. It is highly probable that there are relatives of casper that den here. If you breed her to one from this same location, there's a chance that the male could also carry the albino gene (he could be a het) and maybe produce albinos.

    Snakes tend to den in the same place every year, and spend their lives in a relatively small area. If snakes from this location produced an albino, they could do it again, and many of the "normal" looking snakes could be carrying the gene.
