George: 2013 Male Albino Burmese Python

Today was a great day. Got to spend most of the day with my youngest picking up my dream and newest member of our family, a 2013 Male Albino Burmese Python from a breeder in our state.


Up at 6am for a 6 hour round trip drive. When my alarm sounded at the painful hour of 6am, I heard my son's feet hit the floor as he jumped out of bed even before I had the opportunity to shut the alarm off. He comes screaming in our room, "Dad! Dad! Time to get up and get the Burm"! Obviously, he was nearly as excited as I was to pick up my dream. So we embarked on our 3 hr trip...each way...to pick up the newest member of our family.


And he shall be called, George!


These are a few initial images after a few love taps transferring him into his QT tub:

PRETTY BOY! How nice of him to give you a hello kiss, too! Heh. He's absolutely stunning.

So nice! :gj:

Simply gorgeous! :) :gj:

Loooove the pattern on his head.

awesome snake! he's a looker. i'm sure yall will love him. i love hearing when kids are just as excited as we are about our animals.

As I have been putting my collection back together, my goal was to always raise a Burm from hatchling to adult. I finally found one who dropped a clutch of Burms this year in our state (not an easy feat in MN alone, not to mention many have stopped since Lacey). So I was as stoked to find him...albino too...and snatched him right up. His pattern was more than my mind could handle too. Just blew me away!

That's great I'm glad you found one. Very pretty looking one too. Who did you end up getting him from?

Pickup days are the best days :gj: George is beautiful, congrats!

Wow, stunning animal. Its too bad they banned travelling across state lines for them--it punishes me for being in the military... Not that I would get one right now :P.

So many coral tones - I never knew albino burm babies were so colorful! Big congrats on George

He is beautiful. I love the colors!

Makes me want to get a Burm.....but they get a little too big for my taste, and I may be moving to WA State soon.

A gentleman in Rogers, MN. He has bred his Albino x Normal the last 3 years and said this year will probably be his last unless Lacey gets overturned as it's getting harder to find great homes for the babies. I had to go through a whole series of questions, send images of his enclosure, send images of my current collection and more. He really was concerned with finding GREAT homes for all the little ones, which I appreciated very, very much. Last thing we need is more unwanted giants...

That head pattern is amazing. They are so beautiful. Have fun with him.

Wow :)! I remember almost the exact same scenario happened when I got my
Female albino burm! My
feet hit the floor so fast! To be honest, I was just laying in bed waiting for the wife to get up the whole time haha. We made the 6 hour trip, there and back. 3 each way just like yours! He's beautiful. Congrats!

Congrats! He is beautiful! I really wanted a Burm, but I'm in FL, so it's not practical.

Congratz on him, he is cute as heck. been wanting a female albino to raise, but i'm not quite ready for one again yet. hope i can still get one when I am finally able.

Gorgeous snake!!! How did you end up finding this guy in Rogers, someone you knew already? I am hoping to be ready this coming spring to take on a new addition. Have you had any experience with Twin Cities Reptile?

Been around a few years and know a few breeders here in MN. ;)

Unfortunately I have not dealt with Twin City Reptile, but I know a few who have and they appear to be alright from what I have heard.

Very nice.. That's a incredible Albino. It took me about 4 months but I finally found a Granite male and female here in IL... I'm taking home the female at Tinley Park.. Very good addition to any collection though! It just proves if you keep looking you'll be able to find one!

What a beauty!

i sure love his colors.

Awww his face is so innocent! Haha no wonder he gave you some kisses! He's so gorgeous :) congrats on the new cutie!
