because I'm not sure how IMG acts. I can see from the pictures that the snakes seem "dirtier" than normals. But is this effect from more melanin or less xanthin (yellow pigment)? Hanged if I know.



Seems to me that if IMG increases melanin, than an IMG albino would look like an ordinary albino. And if it causes a reduction in xanthin, then an IMG albino would look somewhere between an albino and a snow. Or there might be some other effect. I'd certainly like to see what happens, though.
