yeah, I've seen the vpi one before but, that thing look dead to me. The one on the pics I've shown has red pupil instead of black. I wander why the one on vpi didn't keep his yellow since albino are yellow usually. Pigment, color his the last thing that apear one a snake so, one that died shortly before hachling could have no pigment without been albino. I'ld like to see an update one from vpi.

albino is not a synonym of no pigments ? :P

[Jezabel]

albino, or amelanistic mean no "melanine" (well, that's what it's called in french) and the melanine is the gene that produce the "black color". An albino burm is not all white... No pigment at all is called a leucistic.

Yup, brand new! I just heard about this last week. Can't wait to see what the little guy looks like as he matures!!

I read about this on the Bob Clark forums someone had posted about it. That's a great looking snake, just imagine what kind of price that would fetch.

cool!

[snakedude_03]

sweet snake! i wonder how much they would fetch too.. damn..

[JKS]

Damn, that's a sweet looking snake! :D

[SilverTongue]

those are beautiful!!

the albino "hatchling" is indeed a stillbirth cut from the egg before pigmentation occurred...

[naja]

but the ones damon had hatch will be interesting to watch grow. hopefully we will all be allowed to watch these snakes grow up! it was only a matter of time before they showed up!

i was reading about them on his website and unfortunatly only one of them is alive now.. one died due to some kind of fungus... his webpage is http://www.(theothersite).com/salceies/main.htm
dont forget to change the url name :P

man he took some percausions... moved em to a more "secure" facility and had dna testing done on em... well i guess thats a good thing considering they would be worth so much... they look awsome...

Thats pretty cool! Another breakthrough for snakes!

[Murray]

Thats awesome. I wonder what they will cost though.

[Jezabel]

Thanks everyone for your info.

And tanks for the website memento.

I love this pic where we see his bright red tail!!!

[Geck-co]

God I only wish I could afford one of its offspring in the future.
Estimating the value of that snake is almost exponential. Figurativly Bob Clark was rewarded over 2 million dollars in damages from his loss of all of his Albino Ball Pythons, all of the het for albino and All of the eggs when they were stolen from his facility. If he Successfully reproduces this animal, and it still is possible he wont slim but possible, He will never want for anything again. I would estimate that the first few offspring from this snake might garner as much as 50k a peice or better depending on who wants them and or has already talked to damon about purchasing them. Hopefully within the few years after they are bred they will become somewhat affordable, 25k maybe more, Of Course these are just estimates, who knows tommorow someone else could hatch a few more. But I do have a feeling that this snake will be a serious breeder pet for several years to come. I do wish Damon the best of luck in breeding these snakes because it will be an excellent addition to the herp society. I also look forward to the day that I might be able to own one of these beauties myself. Congrats to damon and his staff (if he has any?) And best of luck to all of us on being able to own one of these in the future.
