: I just saw a picture of the albino baird's ratsnake that was posted earlier on the forum and the albino black ratsnake looks a lot like mine, could it be? does an albino black ratsnake match the description of my previous post?
: Thanks

Sounds like you could have either a bubblegum rat snake, or an albino black rat snake. It's really hard to say for sure without seeing a photo. Even with a pic it would still be a guess. Albino bubblegum rats are quite variable, not all are orange with cream blotches. Even though its true that most have been selectively bred for the most orange, there is still a bit of variation. The same variability exists with albino black rats, most are pinkish white with shades of red, but some can have various orange/yellow hues as well. Please post a pic if you can, maybe that would help ID your animal.
