Not that common Eggeater

Not that common Eggeater

Postby Bushviper » Mon Jun 23, 2008 8:28 pm

I saw this tonight. I heard Fitzsimons had one many years ago but that died. This is a male of about 2 years old. Being a male is good because then you can put him on numerous females and produce lots of het babies. This is one of the snakes I have always wanted to see in some colour morph. Albino eggeater!!!!!!

The picture is not the best but I had to take it at night with a flash. Hopefully I can photograph him again in the near future.

Damien may the fleas of 100 camels invade your armpits and groin and your fingers turn into ball bearings!

Damien should be glad the curse does not include his fingers turning into fish hooks.

Hahaha


Love it!!

In truth, that albino is actually very striking. I enjoy the fact that it's a wild one. What colour would it turn in formalin? :D
