Albino Applegate Gopher...and an unexpected pick up

[Humble308]

I made a trip out to the local show sunday and picked up a new Pit. She's an albino gopher snake. I normally don't go for the albino stuff preferring the wild look in alot of snakes, but this Applegate strain looks crazy. She looks radioactive hahaha! So far she's been a sweet thing, doesn't mind handling, stays in the open. I love how the pits are a heavy bodied and impressive snake. Here's a few quick shots of her.






I also spied an African house snake (brown) which is a species I've been really interested in. I feel like the off the path colubrids draw me in. They have a fascinating little face and they're quick! Zipped right out of my hands a couple times. I look forward to seeing how this guy grows out as I read they really mellow with age and are ferocious eaters

Really pretty little gopher, though I'm not generally a fan of albino anything either. If I ran across an African house snake at a show I'd probably bring it home too, lol. Easy to care for and don't need a large enclosure, esssentially an African king snake as far as that goes.

I like lots of albino critters. That's a beautiful new Pit Humble. She's going to be amazing adult from the looks of things. The house snake is a beauty too. Congrats on the nice new additions!

Thanks guys! I'm super excited for the gopher, just love Pitouphis. I can't wait to see how their personalities develop.

I've never heard of albino Applegate. I'm not a fan of albino in general but that's pretty awesome. I'd love each to see how those colors turn out as it grows.

OK apparently this is an adult. These are absolutely gorgeous snakes. Great pickup.

Congrats again Humble.

Beautiful! Love all that white!

Thanks! I can only hope that she turns out half as beautiful as the adult in that picture
