This animal was from last years Burke Reptiles Coral litter. Their were siblings that had more coral color than this one for sure. But i swear, everytime I look into her cage she has more color. She did not have nearly this much red when i got her. I was hoping this new red showing up was proof that she was carrying the coral gene. I realize it's still to early to tell, but the more red i she gets the more excited i get. Time will tell i'm sure.
Thanks
Christian
>>That's a very nice Albino. It's hard to determine if it's a Coral Albino or not without knowing possible genetics it has.
>>
>>Was either of it's parents Coral?
>>Did it have any siblings that were Coral?
>>Did the breeder consider it more "Coral" than "Possible Coral"?
>>Did you purchase it in 05 as a Possible Coral and it's colored up?
>>Did you purchase it in 06 as a Possible Coral?
>>Anyway I've seen many high color "regular" Albinos that look very Coral, but they're not. It's all a matter of "if" they pass on the trait. It "could" be that yours is a Coral. It also "could" be that it's just a very nice colorful Albino.

>>There are many "degrees" of Coral. Some look "OUTRAGEOUS!!". Some look "barely passible" as Coral. Others, don't look Coral at all, and yet, they pass on the genes and produce AMAZING babies. I would never say an animal is a Coral just by "looks". If you want to know if this animals is an "actual" Coral it might be best to talk to the breeder that produced it. If it was sold as a "possible" Coral, then they may be able to tell you if it turned out to be an "actual" Coral.
