    Pattern or dirty snake?

    Meet Bourbon. My beautiful Caramel Albino het Ghost


    Do you see the "peppered" markings on his side? Here I'll zoom in.


    It's this a common patterning or something unique? Or is my snake just dirty?

    Now I have to wonder if it's a genetic trait and if it can be purposely recreated. I think the Peppered effect is very appealing...at least on this caramel.

    Re: Pattern or dirty snake?

    I have to ask - where did you get the name "Bourbon" from?? My grandson is almost 4 years old and that is his name. At that time - you never heard anyone named that. In fact, I was shocked when my son told me they were naming him that - I was not happy but now it has grown on me. It actually is popping up all over the place now.

    I was just curious where you came up with that??

    Re: Pattern or dirty snake?

    Exactly my thoughts when they told me but I can't tell you how many people are using this name now for their pets and children. Too funny. I'm used to it now and actually like it. We actually found a grown man by that name online so I guess its been used for years.

    I did Not come up with it. He had his name when I acquired him last week. I assumed it was due to his whiskeyish coloring.
