you may have a couple of albinos. Look at they iris. If the eyes are pink, you have albinos. If so, congrats. There are only a handful in the world......and please post more pics as they grow.

Thanks

Sorry B, but I have to strongly disagree...
I have seen Chondro's with several different colored tongue's... Including, white, blue, pink, and even translucent...

Hi Shiloh!

My GTP have no red eyes, it`s no albino
You say you have seen many other thongs. Whats going on
with them when they grown ? Is the something special or have they
only special thongs but not more?

Bye...Dirk
