ALBINO HOUSE SNAKE
by PYRO » Thu Feb 09, 2006 3:02 pm
I caught a House Snake in January 2001 in Upington, very light in colour with red eyes. It was about 280mm long, and is now close to a metre. It hasn't gotten any darker since I got it. So how do you tell if its an Albino?

Hi Pyro,
Welcome to the forum.
Well, it must have red eyes and be like a yellowish / beige colour. That's the usuall characteristics. Would be nice if you could get a pic or two of it.

I found a Albino brown House in Mozambiqeu about 6 months ago

The stripes on its head were a pinkish colour and the eyes gold
I never took Pics!!!!
