Hey Byron - I was just admiring these pics again. That looks almost like a gravid female to me.
Maybe I'm wrong, but if it is, I am in line for any Albino Hatchlings or any pair of hatchlings because they would at least be het for Albino.

Very nice. What an end to 2009. That luck does not come by every decade either. Lets hopse she does well for you and possibly it is not too late to breed her (again?) this season.

WOW :D

I was expecting SOMETHING nice, but that is the coolest thing Ive seen. Its actually fairly close to what I envisioned an amel would look like, but it is so much more striking to see. I cant wait for new pics and updates.

Needless to say, I want some bad, glad to hear that this animal is going into a breeding project (Instead of being released by a non-herper like that albino olive housie I saw on here a while back)


Whoo-hooo, albino Heralds in the house!!!!!

Thanks for posting!

And here I was chewing my wrists off while going trhough all the posts over the holidays and it's such a pleasure to come across such a gem of a post.

That is a real beautiful snake. Well done for getting hold of it.

I kept Heralds for years when I was younger and I'm sure this one will do very well for you if fed on frogs. Haha, this one is so special you might want to build a pond and start breeding frogs.

Keep us updated on its progress and a few more (and bigger) pics would be greatly appreciated.
