a full phenotypical level, which means something chemically is different. They both have differences among adults and neonates. The largest difference is red eyes in the VPI T-plus, but traditional eye color in the Caramel.

The Caramel has bee viewed as a recessive Hypomelanistic. The VPI is a form of Albino.

I won't lie, when I first saw the Caramel/Boawoman Hypo I thought it was a form of T-positive Albino as well. However certain breeders working with them pointed out the differences, especially the lack of red pupils.

Until chemical testing is done, we tack the label of Albino to those mutations with red pupils.
