Piebalds are the best! I have yet to see a mutation that garners so much attention, and has been available for so long. Take a pure/bright white snake, add random patches of aberrant orange and a completely random black pattern, and you have a piebald. Variability in piebalds is so great that the amount of pure white on the snake as well as the extravagance of the pattern determines price. Piebalds always have a colored, normal appearing head, but after that it's all random. Some animals exhibit nearly 100% white, while others maybe as little as5%.
