That albino black rat snake you got from Dwight is looking real nice. Your black rat snake is turning out looking real good and healthy. I can hardly believe he was the little hatchling you collected and posted pics.

:
:I havent posted any recent pics of my rat snakes so I thought I would take some and post them. These are all from today.

:This my '01 KY locale black rat snake. I havent measured him in a while, and I would say he is probably pushing 42 or 43". Just a big baby.
:

:
:And another. I believe he has heavy gray rat influence, take a look at the coloration on his head.
:

:And for you guys who are into genetics, take a look at this pic. He has white spots evenly spaced on his sides that get more pronounced with each shed. Any ideas on this? Is this maybe some kind of piebald? I dont know, so any ideas would be helpful.
:

:And another shot of the white spots. Its not missing scales, the scales seem to be without color where they are white.
:

:This is my Albino black rat snake from Dwight Good. He is an '02 and growing really fast.
:

:And another of the Albino.
:

:And the last one.
:

:Hope you all enjoyed them.
