Show & Tell
3-DAY-old Leucistic and Visual-Het Gray-banded Kingsnakes (Lampropeltis alterna) that hatched while I was at the Arlington, Texas, NARBC two weekends ago. No, the pupils of the Leucistic mutants in this picture are not actually red. In this species–as in most serpent species–it’s not uncommon for flash photography to render such red pupils in Leucistic mutants. Note that the lower of the two has the classic BUGGY eyes SOME Leucistic serpents possess? As soon as they’re feeding, they’ll be offered for sale.
