I was looking though an old herp book of mine by Peter Mirtschin and Rickard Davis 1986 edition and was admiring the Albino Tiger and was wondering, are there many Albino Elapids in private collections.
I have managed to scan a photo of the Albino Tiger in my book but would love to see pics if anyone does own Albino Elapids of any species
 
Thiers heaps around, I couldnt tell you all the species off the top of my head but thiers a few, check out rep aus mag edition on alb's
 
I presume you have seen the reptiles australia special on albinos? If not it's well worth a look. Plenty more albino elapids out there then I expected.
 
does anyone know who owns the albino tiger? anyone out there have any albino elapids in there collections?
 
The problem is no specialist elapid keepers actually own any albino elapids. We cant afford to. We're all poor, humble people. Their all owned by the cruel rich python breeders.

poor shane...lol...only wished i had half of what you have. cant wait to see more pictures of your elapids posted
 
itd be interesting to know if anyone out there did have albino elapids...i guess most people keep there cards pretty close to there chest...
 
had to read that twice...

I have a poster in my herp room about albinos of australia
the albino RBB looks bloody wicked sick.

Sorry mate it's my missus that's doing the typing :rolleyes:

Love RBB's their the only elapid I keep these days although I do have a soft spot for tigers.
 
Well at least we know these elapids aren't crossed with darwin..... or are they? :shock:

Shane, poor and humble you may be, but geez you've got some nice snakes. I wants your cape yorks!!
 
Wow that tiger is amazing, I would kill for it.
Crap, an albino Red Belly?! That would be orgasmic.
Any one got pics of a wild albino? That would be cool.
 
Actually the more me and the missus ponder over the pic of the Albino Tiger the more we think that it is a museum specimen and is probably dead. There are a couple of things in the pic that don't sit right with me.
What do you guys think?
 
The 'Albino Special' issue of Reptiles Australia Mag (vol 3 issue 4) has pics of the following Elapid Albinos ---- common death adder , desert death adder , lowland copperhead , Eastern Brown , Yellow faced Whip Snake ,Eastern tiger , White crowned snake & RBB.
Plus of course Pythons & Lizards.
