Leucistic corn snake - IIRC, that’s an expensive snake, and not too common in the wild.

Damn!

Some people have all the luck!

The only ‘extra’ I’ve ever brought home was fruit flies.

A baby albino corn is about $20-25 at a snake show or $40 at PetCo but still....:-\

We have apparently had a hatching on my property as we saw a newly hatched Corn slithering around on Halla’s grave the other night.

Little thing was barely the size of a good night crawler.

I thought about bringing it in but I don’t really want to keep hibernating snake species.

Hopefully it [and if I’m really lucky, hordes of its siblings] will grow fast and gobble down the local mice and roof rats.

If I were her I wouldn’t be whining...I’d be in the fruit aisle hoping some nice BCIs had hitchhiked here from South America...:)

As far as I know, they have not bred a leucistic corn yet.

However, they have created a "Blizzard" corn.

Innit a beauty?

"All" she got was an Albino.

[lucky rip] ;D
