I have 2 albinos, both around the 1000 gram mark.

The male was a crisp baby with intense yellow, but was sold as a normal albino. His bright color is gone as an adult. His crisp BRIGHT pattern is also gone.

Infact it is very hard to see the actual pattern of the snake as most all of it bleeds together making the snake look almost a solid banana color with no pattern.

Now I also have a female albino from the NERD which was sold to me as a HIGH-CONTRAST albino. As a baby she looked just like my male albino.

As she aged yes her colors fadded with less intense yellow, BUT her pattern is still crisp and clean and does not bleed into the white areas AT ALL on the snake.

I can see the difference I like the high-contrast snake better, but as adults its not a dramatic difference. If the high-contrast-albinos held the bright yellow as adults with the high-contrast pattern, then I guess you could make a big deal about them.

Will have to get some photos of my albinos together soon, just don't want to bother the female, she is on a 5 month fast and I am really starting to get sick about it.
