Beautiful black & white.

I was at a truely great dilema. I went to petco to get some supplies (I don't buy animals from them.) In the ball python enclosure, there were three normal juveniles and one Adult (probably 3.5 feet long) black/grey/white no brown whatsoever.

I saw this and I said WOW that is one EXPENSIVE snake. I am sure that they had no idea what they had in the display. I made a joke to the store guy that the big one might eat one of the smaller ones. The guy did not even acknowledge that I was there.

I cannot afford another snake at this time, but man was that snake beautiful!!!!!

I really wanted to buy it!

Ask what price it is - if it's the same price as the others or even within striking distance I'd "rescue" it so fast the guys cash register would have friction burns.

Take a quick picture and we can see if it is Axanthic or not..

Or buy it :)

if the snake clearly stands out, black and white,i'm pretty sure that's axanthic, and it's priced at 80 dollars, i'd buy it

I went to go look for it... There was nothing there...

HUH Heather... :confuzd:
You live in CA and she lives in NY, unless you are now in NY and went looking for that snake....

Okay I'm confused!

lol, i'm slightly amused :)

I'd say that it is highly unlikely that an adult axanthic is sitting for sale at a pet store.

Me too, unless that breeder was on something when he sold the snakes to that pet store!

Me too, but what could explain that type of coloring.
