If you have the money, scratch that itch...

Do they all turn that light yellow color as they age... so much, that I might as well get an albino?

[jknudson]

They have a yellow/white cast to them, really unreal looking in person....much much different than a "regular albino".

I remember talking to Jimi about this over IMs one day...the quality of the parents effect the clearness and whiteness of a snow, but yes, you should see the "boa pattern" in the white. The darker yellow or muddier the color or pattern, the less quality the coloration/patterning of the parents...

I think anyway...it's been a while. Boa experts, please correct me if I'm wrong. =D

I'm trying to make an excuse for not wanting one... and Ralph had this drop dead gorgeous girl on his web site. I believe a young one. Sterling white, blue grey hues.... just unflukenbelievable.

Then I was cruising at Jeremy's sight, and he has what appears to be an adult snow with a yellow cast to her.

I know many snakes do yellow out... and if it is something to do with selective breeding... I'm going to have to do some very selective shopping.

Nummy...I've always thought snow boas were the prettiest "all white" snake because you have that faint boa pattern...=)
