Hey I found some of these things on Kingsnake and thought I'd get some discussion going as to the validity of these morphs.

No idea, they're not mine. They are in Malaysia and being sold at a huge price.

I don't doubt that's its main cage. There are some great keepers however in Southeast Asia. I have a supplier in Malaysia and he does really great things with his animals. I have learn quite a bit about keeping arboreal vipers and cobras from him. Anyone think these are what the guy claims or are they just random patter variations and not genetic at all?

$18 000 USD for the hypo burm
$20 000 USD for the T+ albino retic
$25 000 USD for the leucistic retic


Keep in mind none of these are confirmed, they are all listed as possibles. I'm amazed Bob Clark hasn't grabbed them yet. Makes you wonder if he knows something we don't. Well he knows alot we mere mortals don't.;)

well that last pic is definately not a leucistic retic as leucisism is all white, i'd say it is just a high white albino, oh but that burm yummy!!!

I agree. Bob Clark has a picture of a very similar looking retic on his site, and he lists it as a new type of albino. His is nicer too. That burm is really interesting though. I'm not convinced of the T+ albino either.

The T+ albino looks quite similar to Bob Clarks blonde retics.
