*FIXED* 05 Albino h Snow (Kahl)

Sorry mates, it's hard to keep up with what html formats each forum supports.

Larraq - 05 Albino h Snow (Kahl)
From Bill Gaines

This little guy has the most intriguing color scheme going on. It's virtually impossible to catch with a camera. Something that has to be seen to be noticed. He has golden flecks all over his body. Not just typical albino-yellow, but GOLD. It's going to be very interesting to see how he develops. Being that he's also 100% het Snow, we're hoping to have him prove out our female Motley het Albino (50% het Snow) this next season. And even if she doesn't prove out, we'll still get Motley Albinos and Motley Albinos pos het Snow.

Another thing we've noticed, is the translucency in his scales and the fading of his side saddles.

With the sun on him, you can really see through his scales. Look at the tail area, in the white rings around his saddles. They're very translucent, leaving his pink insides to show.

When we told him what a good lookin' boy he was, this was all he had to say.

The rest of his pics can be found in our Gallery link.

You're exactly right ... you just can't capture the gold-tone colors in this guy with a camera(at least I can't). This entire litter has a really interesting color-tone to them. It shows up in most of the Snows and Albinos; I can only assume it is still present in the Anerys and Double Hets (but you can't see it). I have kept back some for myself. Plus, this pair did not repeat this year, so it may be both a first and last.
