Larry, where's the "albino" (amelanistic)?. I see two pics of hypomelanistic burms there just as I suspected the one was? Maybe you are referring to what some call "caramel" albinos (a form of hypomelanism) that aren't amelanistic, but a reduced form.
People get the terms "lavender" albino, "t-pos." albino, "t-neg." albino, "blonde" albino, "caramel" albino, and countless other genetic terms and discription confused all the time as you probably already know.

This is a typical albino (no dark pigment) Burmese. they can of course range from light butter yellow to high-orange, and anything in between, but there is still no melanin. Huge difference to me in phenotype as well as price, and this is why I like to use precise terminology when referring to genetic mutations. Some coined names and terms can often mean very different things depending on who someone is talking to..
