Hello there I have a question about two of my albino leopards that hatched a little over 3 weeks ago. When they hatched they had the coloration of what I would consider a normal albino (yellowish/pinkish skin tone). After their first shed I noticed that their coloration began to darken considerably more than previous albinos I had. The second of the two albino's to hatch is now extremely dark colored. He seems to be turning black. So my question is what is this?
Below are links to the pics of them, the pics are of a higher resolution than I can post directly in Kingsnake...
The first photo:

Is the first albino of the two, I believe. That photo was taken within a few days of hatching.
The second Photo:

Is that same Albino 3 weeks later. Notice the darkening of his
tone...
But the strangest photo is of the second albino at 3 weeks old, it had the same coloration as the first albino when it hatched also. But after 3 weeks it has undergone a extreme darkening.

Notice how the white around his head has dark spots beginning to show through...as well as how the pink bars have change to that dark color now.
Any ideas on what this change in color is from? Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks for your time, Lance
