Re: White as white can be...
The Texas Leucistic Rat Snake has always been one of my favorite critters. I should have moved on one when I had the chance. I ended up getting an albino white sided bull snake to pair with my female albino.

It has more in common with a Rat Snake than a Milk Snake

Re: White as white can be...
Not particularly common for one to survive that long in the wild though.

Reminds me of the Monty Python Bruce sketch.
Pretty snake though.

Re: White as white can be...
I love how everyone in the reptile community knows what leucistic means and it seems common knowledge but to everyone else in the world its some special thing. I really hate how silly the headline seems though.

Re: White as white can be...
Well, it might have to do something with standing out against everything not white, which is pretty much everything, and being a target for anything big enough to eat it. A white Sea Snake might get away with not being targeted from below on a sunny day, but from above...it's a sitting duck.
Also, I haven't seen many white snakes in the snow, where they'd be a little less conspicuous, but that's another story...
