believed. This is the easiest of the albino tricolors to get

Pine, Bull & Gopher SnakesPituophis sp.These big snakes typically get 6-7 feet in

Water SnakesNerodia sp.These heavy-bodied serpents add an interesting element to the hobby. I feed mine a diet of 50% fish and 50% frozen-thawed rodents. They do well when set up like other colubrids like Corn Snakes and King Snakes. $35 each Click here to see the Water Snake page
