    Talking Help ID this snake!

    This is Tattoo... he's a nice little snake I'm taking care of at the zoo. ( http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=100910 ) My first guess is that he's an albino-striped corn snake. However, the folks at the zoo say that some "expert snake guy" saw him and swore up and down that he was some super-rare snake. He tried to trade part of his collection to the zoo for this one snake.

    So anyhow...what do you guys think? I tried to get a decent picture of his head pattern, but it's hard. As soon as he sees the camera he points himself straight at it, so it's hard to get a shot of him from above. LOL



    These two show his colors off best...




    Regardless of what he is, he's a great little snake. But I'd like to have accurate information to pass on about him when people ask. Thanks for any help y'all can give!!

    Watch and wait; a hapless creature has wandered in wake of my growing hunger. My oh my, don't you look tasty?
    Hey traveler, what do you know of wolves?

    All that's scaly and reptilian, all that's furry and mammalian, all that swims in the sea, all that flies in the sky--I love each and every one of these precious creatures.

    It was donated by someone that didn't want it anymore. I don't know much more than that. Judging by size alone, I'd say it's still a juvi with a lot of growing ahead of it...but I'm not at all confident of his feeding history and he may be small due to lack of regular meals or meals that were too small.
