Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Albino siblings starting to look very different???
Ok guys I'm still learning about breeding, morphs and what not so I'm not an expert. Been keeping snakes for a while but again I'm still learning. My question is...what would cause two albino siblings to start looking way different than each other? I know albino's lose color most people do know that but my male looks as any other albino should. But the female, who is the males sister in the same litter is really going through some changes. She almost looks like someone dropped a grenade on her back and blew her color all over the place. Plus she's starting to get alot of red? Yes that's a question mark because I don't know what would cause the red instead of orange. Her head is starting to turn red too. Both snakes just turned 1 year old yesterday. I have pics of the female from about 6 months ago somewhere when she looked like her brother. Here are a few pics of the male and female to show the difference. The male is the first two pics and the female is the second two pics. The pics are not the best and neither is my camera but you can see how the male looks normal and the female has a very odd look to her back and sides now and her head is turning red. Oh and the stripe on her head and the stripes on the side are getting brighter everyday. Let me know what you guys think. I just haven't been around long enough to be able to determine what the deal is so I appreciate the help. Here are the pics.
Thanks.
Zach

It is kind of hard to see what you are saying from the pics, but it sounds like what you are describing on the female is what people call the Coral albino trait.

I'll try and get some better pics but like I said the male looks normal for an albino and the female just doesn't.

With any litter you will see variability among the neonates. In this case your male is more run of the mill while your female is developing color. As Alex mentioned, the color coming in can be possibly attributed to what many people refer to as the coral gene (the color coming in with age is common with this line).
