... but the wolf snake was bred a few times, so I am sure there are hets around. Both snakes are from the Limpopo province.

I'm not really a designer snake morph person but it is always nice to wild wild albinos, amels, etc.

Many have seen this pic, but for those that haven't here is an amelanistic B. caudalis caught by a friend near Usakos, Namibia.

Shieldnose (Piebald)
Horned adder (Amelanistic)
Berg adder (Amelanistic)
Puff adder (3 types of albinism as well as striped)

When I was collecting frogs for the night adders at my parents place last night, I came across 7 catfish hiking along the golf cart path in mount edgecombe. Then had a bush buck nearly jump onto my lap, scared the cra* out of me as I didn't see it. Very interesting field trip.

Its all quite fascinating how many of these have been wild caught, makes you ask the question how true natural selection is ;) . What I would like to find out is there any recordings or pictures of albino, amelanistic ect. of indigenous lizards?

No pics, I know, but I am aware of an albino tree agama. It was brought to Creatures and Critters petshop as a new-born baby and did not live very long.
