Is a pretty clear indicator of "albinism",in amelanistic albinism,"black" is represented as "white",and the eye color is typically pink/red,in T pos. albinism the eyes appear ruby/burgundy red,and "black",when present, takes on a grayish purple hue..nowhere in any of the genetic material that I've ever read,is red eye color an indicator of true "hypomelanism" that being said,new mutations are what we as herpetoculturists live for....mutations that pop up within a mutation represent a treasure trove of new possibilities,and force us to re-evaluate what we thought we knew yesterday...never a bad thing in my opinion. It also generates great conversations.
