Arabesque Albino Update Shots

[Nefarion]

Got out and get some new shots of my newly shed queen here.

A tiny piece of skin didnt shed at the end of her tail, you may be able to see it in some of the shots. No problemo though. Was her first shed in my possesion. Her color is nuts, I'll let the pics do the talking as usual. These were taken in different lighting than the last shots of her. The last shots were taken in overcast lighting directly in the light. These shots were taken outside in bright light but I diffused the light with a T-Shirt and towel (I dont like to take my albinos in direct sunlight).

WOW, the orange is really coming out on that girl. What a change from the first pictures you posted a while back. I am truely impressed with this girl. No telling what she will look like in a year or two either. Thanks for sharing.

Just out of curiousity what is a snake such as this ones price range. I see there are more & more people breeding albinos etc and am wondering if the prices will plummet in the next several years. I am new to this and have 2.2 BCC that have 25 to 50% possible het for albino and am trying to see if breeding is in the future and what I should expect to get. Sorry for the ignorance.

	Heterozygous Heterozygous - the animal carries the gene for a genetic trait but does not outwardly demonstrate the trait. Example: A boa that is het for albino looks normal but carries the albino gene. When it is bred to another het for albino boa or an albino boa, a percentage of the offspring will be albino.

	Boa Constrictor Constrictor Red Tail Boa Constrictor (Boa constictor constrictor). Refers to "true" red tail boas such as the Guyana and Suriname locales.

Sorry for the belated responses all. I didnt realize that these posts were moved to this section of the forum.

3k to 6k for most albino arabesques these days.

We are going to see the price on "normal" albinos drop as more mutations are worked into albinism. Albinos went for as low as $699 this year.

I have seen some sharp strain suriname crosses and they are absolutely stunning. Went for 3.5k last year a piece.

Thanks for the compliments all! Keep in mind this lighting scenario was much different than the last set of pictures I took. These pictures were taken in the shade on a bright/sunny day. The last pictures were taken in the direct light path on an overcast day. That in itself will throw a different color scheme out (overcast lighting dulls everything). But yeah, she did gain some color this last shed.. I cant wait to see her in a year or two!
