: Eric,

: The albino population of Iwakuni, was made a national treasure, which protects them I'm sure. But this population is supposedly all leucistic also. There are albino snakes in other places in Japan. Since mine is a yellow albino, I'm sure it's parentage isn't from the Iwakuni stock. Since I looked it up, I realize that Rob's snakes couldn't have come from the Iwakuni stock either. I'll try to attach a link to an article that was posted earlier this summer that explains what I think you were referring to. Thanks, TC.

Now that you mention it they may have been leucistic rat snakes. I only mentioned it because I didn't want Rob to get into major trouble for molesting a protected snake.
