Wow very nice looking.
Had my hopes up that it was a Albino or leucistic. But still good looking none the less.

Stunning MrG, love your photo's.
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer by far , something rarer than ability.
It is the Ability to recognise Ability

That is a normal color for areas in the free-state and even dullstrooms ones are whiter

Nice pics. Saw pics on a facebook group of a very similiar rinkhals that got killed by a dog, and thought the scales were weird with some fungal disease or something random, but at least the pic has answered my question
leave no rock unturned
