SNOW BURMS

Hey did everyone saw the ad on kingsnake about the snow burms? They look aweful familiar to a snake that I saw taht belongs to someone els. Anybody know if this guy "ryan" got them legally? or is he selling them for someone els? (like Dale). I have only heard there were 3 "leusistic" or "snow" burms. could someone shed light on this for me <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Thanx

GOOD MORNING,
THE "SNOW" FOR SALE ON KINGSNAKE LOOKS LIKE A REGULAR ALBINO , JUST WITH MORE WHITE AND LESS YELLOW THAN NORMAL. ITS VERY NICE LOOKING BUT IS NOT LEUCISTIC IN MY OPINION. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS SELLING "SNOW BURMS" AND THEY WERE ALL ALBINOS WITH LESS YELLOW AND MORE WHITE THAN NORMAL-NOT LEUCISTIC. TAKE A LOOK AGAIN AT THE PICT AND YOU CAN SEE THE REDUCED YELLOW PATTERN ON THE SNAKE.

GOD BLESS!

I will clear it up for you Winston.The "snow" burm is in fact nothing more then a extremly high white albino,also call a "ghost albino" (I have had them and sold them last year)the snake in mention is worth maybe $1,500 but people think because they call it a "snow they will get some one to pay a arm and a leg and then they breed them and get normal albino. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;It is neither a snow, ghost, or luecistic, it is in fact a high white albino, Dave is correct, you get nothing but your usual offspring. $1500 no way, try $500 at the most and that would be to a burm collecter, no use for a breeder.

I just wanted to say that I saw a leucistic burmese at the tampa show in sept. last year and it didnt look like that, also it had black eyes........ &nbsp;I agree with the high white theory and if you are lucky you might get 2% of a clutch that would come out high white, most likely all you would get would be normal albino babies though.

I was the guy with the 2 leuy burms at the Tampa show, <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

well this guy on kingsnake is trying to sell the thing for at least ten thousand. I think it is a bit much.
