She isn't really a black milk (I wish) but this is the darkest honduran we have - very heavily tipped and only a year old. She is a het albino possible het hypo that will get her chance to produce in a few years - very rapidly growing girl.

Caught a few pics of her in blue this past weekend when she looks darker than ever,

I think some very pretty albinos are in the making Mary. I have an unusually dark hondo here also belonging to Jim W. She will breed a het hypo next season. The female that produced those nice hatchlings for me this year will be paired with a het albino from MarcB at SBS. next season.
Mary: My black milks are growing fast and i should have some in a couple years if you can wait that long.

She shed while I was away on the weekend so will have to get a few clean pics. As dark as she is, she is still nothing like a real black milk!!

Was fortunate last week that Will brough two of his black milks to the Edmonton Reptile club meeting and got a chance to see these beauties first hand! They are gorgeous snakes and there is no mistaking them for mexican black kings - very different scale appearance, totally different head shape and they are definately on my 'need to have one' list now. Glad Will has some here in Western Canada and looking forward to when there will be more around.
