These current ones are in Australia, and are the only ones that we know of so far that are from unrelated parents and healthy.
There have been albino babies hatch several times, but did not or where reported to not have survived. From what I know, those were all close relation breedings.
All of them that we know of that have hatched, have come from gold/yellow parents, not white ones like many people think may have eventually produced them.
We know that there are silbings from parent that produced albinos in other countries besides Australia and we suspect some albino's themselves have been taken out of Australia last year. For obvious legal reasons, that is not going to be publicly acknowledged.
I think it is just a matter of time, before we start seeing them hatching and thriving here if careful breeding is practiced with the recessive gene and they are not inbred in too eager a process to produce more. It will take several generations to bred that recessive gene and produce hets that will eventually produce healthy albinos.
