    What are you talking about? I can't even see a snake in those pictures

    My albinos don't have the greatest vision, and I know that's true for albino frogs as well. If something didn't snap them up I imagine that'd shorten the lifespan too.

    I am surprised we don't see more albino fossorial snakes though. Living completely underground you wouldn't think the mutation would have the same negative effects.
