Butter corns are homozygous for the caramel gene and homozygous amelanistic. The caramel gene first showed up in a female that Rich Zuchowski (SerpenCo) purchased and bred - giving rise to caramels when not amelanistic, ambers when paired with hypomelanism and butters when amelanistic. As far as I know he was the first to produce butters from this line.
Hope that helps. Butters are really pretty snakes - hard to photograph well I find, but very dramatic in person, especially when they are mature.

If you are planning on butters, I reccomend getting them from Darren Boyd, he owns Reptile Rainforest and has the nicest butter corns I have ever seen, and at a good price too! He is located in the Ottawa area. His website is www.thereptilerainforest.com

For the record, Darren is the nicest, most honest guy around. Whenever I have a problem with my snakes he is always willing to help out in any way he can. He won't sell you an unhealthy animal.

That link brings up what you need to know Invictus.
He has shipped to Vancouver Island before so I would guess the answer is yes.
