Thanks Chris, that was funny. You are right, an albino is an albino is an albino.
Carmel albino and lavender albino are different mutations and are probably not compatible (although I don't KNOW that for a fact since nobody has come forward yet to show the offspring of such a union)
With a few generations of selective breeding you 'could' produce better and better looking offspring, the same way you could with any morph... Are they a mutation in their own right worth hundereds of dollars more? Nahhhh....

And Bob saw the morph, that it was good; and Bob divided the morph from the wild trait. And Bob called the morph Albino, and the wild trait Normal. And the Albino and the Heterozygous Albino were the first investment."

>>There is probably only one line of Albino. All the so called High Contrast Albinos are of the same original Albino lineage, just bred for a little more contrast and labeled a more marketable name. Okay. I can handle this. Yet recently I've seen more and more ads labeling these animals Super High Contrast Albinos.
