Blog #11 (Albino Kingsnakes)
1. Albino Kingsnakes Gain Foothold in Canary Islands
2. Reptile Magazine Online, May 2014
3. I chose this article because we have about 5 albinos in the back and they are nasty things. Always agressive and rather agitated easily.
4. I liked that this article described the problem of Albino Kingsnakes eating everything. I would never think these snakes could take over a place. According to the article it is eating native animals and becoming to populous. It is estimated there is over a thousand albinos per square mile in the Canary Islands now.
5. I learned from this article how animals bred in captivity can take over. If you just let one out, it soon finds another and they multiply. Now the Islands government is trying to find a solution to these creatures. A study in 2012 states that soon these snakes are expected to disappear completely from the island due to natural causes.

10. The most interesting thing is that they're color is what makes them so agressive.
