If you look at other Albino animals that have been bred in captivity for awhile, like Corn Snakes, it is a common problem. Deaths, eye deformity, blindness, sterility etc. A lot of folks don't agree with crossing locals, but if you want to have some strong Albino blood, buy Albinos, or hets, with Suri or Argentine blood in them. Pete Kahl is selling some Argie/Columbian hets right now. Albinism is actually a weak mutation to begin with, meaning that it doesn't support the growth/evolution of a species. Sensitivity to light, poor camouflage etc. Combine that with inbreeding and you get junk.
