Thanks to my good friend, Dr. Brad Lichtenhan I am the proud new owner of this beautiful 2-week-old Albino Anaconda Hognose (Nasicus heterodon).  This pic was taken just minutes after she ate her first meal (a frozen/thawed pinky mouse).  As always, Brad, I cannot thank you enough.  When it comes to snakes, you produce the best.

Not a brightly colored Bloodred, this female just laid 16 eggs that were sired by a male with her hidden genes; Pied-sided Anery Bloodred, but the twist is that their grandfather was the famous white-sided Granite owned by Rich Hume.  Fingers crossed.  No, she’s not really brighter in color on the 1st third of her body.  A light directly above her head was not properly diffused so it was brighter than the other lights, making her look brighter only on that part of her body.

Cute lil Scaleless Corn not even 1-DAY-old.  The egg tooth–which is barely visible beneath the rostral scale of the snout will fall off in a few DAYs.  Notice the few small, roundish and random scales on the head.
