I would advise you against breeding Albino to Albino, sure you'd get all Albino offspring BUT you could also run the risk of having all kinds of problem associated with that kind of pairing.

See this link below for an example, go to clutch 12 ;

I would personnaly breed a Het to Albino to avoid problems.

Lots that can be bred into Albinos - Spiders, Cinnamon, Pinstripe, Pieds, Clown and many more.

All depends on what you like, have you asked yourself ; Am I breeding for myself "Personal project" or for resale, If resale, then you need to research what the market likes mixed into albinos.

What morphs do you like after Albinos?

Good luck

Clutch 12 the one you are refering to was a het X albino breeding...

I would say if you have a pair of albinos, breed something co dom to them, say if you had an adult spider, Mojave, or Cin. If you get lucky and produce a co dom male het for albino in a years time you could raise it up and breed it to your albino girl and produce the homozygous co-dom recessive cross.
