I have seen the pic of this animal and she is stunning.

I am not sure that you would get R60 grand because the albino aurora only went for 2 or 3 thousand dollars a few years ago. That poor snake went from Krugersdorp to America to Durban and then back to America and then he disappeared.

This snake is legal so no attorneys need to get involved. The authorities would not know what to do with her and putting her back into the wild is not going to do her any favours. She is way better off where she is now.

Now bugs go steal a camera and post some pics!!!!!!!!!!!

She is stunning, thats for sure. I would be interested in some babies please :) Just please don't make me sell my car, house (if I had one), etc, etc. lol

If you need someone to take care of her, you can shout as well. I'll be more than willing to take her off your hands :)

Anyone care to post this apparent pic thats circulating? It's not that difficult.

Froot it is a poor quality cell phone pic. You can still see enough.

Copyright also belongs to bugs. If he does not mind we can upload it?

Some of you may remember an albino mole snake recorded by John Wood many years ago (in the 80's I think?). It was found on Noordhoek beach in Cape Town. I wonder whta happened to that animal?

Okay, so this is the photo which we received via mms - Just to prove it's not all lies.

Hopefully we will get better photos posted soon.

I hope you don't mind me posting this bugs, but you did say you were gonna post it, so indirectly I did have permission :p

As an adult the baby markings still show through.

Reminds me of a Pituophis species.
