Jason,
No problem, I won't ask any more details. The last amelanistic Canebrake was supposed to have been collected in Mississippi and was posted on Kingsnake.com a while ago. Whit Gibbons had reported their amel Canebrake to have been collected at the Savannah River Ecology Lab site in Georgia. I hope the little guy takes well to captivity and feeds well for you. I have amelanistic Eastern Diamondbacks and cannot wait to aquire my first amel Canebrake. I found a female juvenile Canebrake last year in South Carolina that was cream in coloration. The snake would darken up before a shed and then become almost aspen bedding colored when first shed. The snake became ill and died a short time later under another keepers care. I am looking forward to your pics being posted.
Good Luck,
Paul

Jason: Congratulations man, sounds like you have the Luck of the One In A Million.
I do have a Question for ya’ll tho. Have any of you ever heard of a Amelanistic Agkistrodon piscivorous being found in the wild? I was talking to a Friend of mine that lives in South Mississippi, he said that an Albino Western Cottonmouth had been found in the Lower Mississippi River Flood Basin. Personally, I have never heard of one single Confirmation on this Morph being found in the Wild, have ya’ll? If so, do any of you have a link to anything on it, or even by Luck a Picture? I would love to see one “LOL”.
Be Safe Ya’ll, Happy Herping: Wally

Jason, I meant to tell you that I found a 4Ft. 8In. Female Western Cottonmouth in the Road. She was a DOR tho, it was a true shame. She must have been hit not even 2 Hours before I found her, because she was not torn up too bad. She had a lot of Greenish Brown Color and her belly was Quit Colorful. I wish she would have been Alive, she would have made the Perfect Show Snake for you to use. Maybe I can find another one her same size or bigger, in the same area “who knows”? If I do I will let you know, that is if you still need one. Take care and be careful.
PS: I haven’t been able to do a lot of Herping this Year, but maybe next Spring we could try and plane the Trip we talked about on the Phone a Few Months back.
Be Safe Ya’ll, Happy Herping : Wally

That sounds good Wally. I have just been too busy this year to do much herping. I have been receiving a lot of snake calls lately and have done approx. 150 hours of reptile education just since January. Next year I'm going to schedule some weekends off and plan a couple of trips though.

Wally, I do not have a pic of a amelanistic Cottonmouth but I do have one of a Luecistic Florida Cottonmouth. The snake was found in the wild here in Florida. Let me know if you would like to see the pic, I should post it here. It's a shame about that large cotton you found DOR, I saw one about 39 inches last week here, AOR though.

I just posted two pics in the Crotalinae Photos section of the Luecistic Florida Cottonmouth. Sorry but the snake has dirt across it's back. It is solid white like Ivory soap. Light silver blue eyes, like a luecistic Texas ratsnake, just hot :)
