What DMong said. Tennessee = L.g.nigra and not nigrita. As to albino nigra, Don Hamper had them at one time many years ago but I'm not for certain where they came from and what the availability is these days. From what I can gather the albino L.g.getula originated in east Tennessee as an intergrade at best and most likely straight up nigra. From there it was crossed in to getula. For what its worth, L.g.nigra is not sexually dimorphic when it comes to coloration. They are dimorphic in the sense that males grow much larger than females.
