Some albino Kenyans(and snows)

Roy Stockwell Dec 10, 2006 01:57 PM

I really like albino Kenyans. They are still relatively new to me and I look forward to producing lots of them, and increasing the amount and intensity of orange in them. There are two forms thought to be two distinct and non compatible mutations. The paradox albino, which was originally present in a Dodoma valley specimen imported by the Barkers, comes with strange black blotches which somehow is part of this unique albino mutation.
The other albino form, is the original fist seen in an Egyptian East African Sanboa and outcrossed to more orange specimens, by Mark Bell and other breeders.
Below a mixed bucket of paradox and Bell albinos


Below, one of each. A paradox albino with the obvious black blotches, and a classic Bell Albino, without the blotches.

Both albino forms can and have been bred with Anery Keyans to produce
Snow Kenyans... And of course given that the Paradox form of albino, comes complete with melanin blotches, these are also carried over to the paradox snows.

Above and below, pure Bell albinos and snows(and an Anery)

Below, a paradox snow, with very few black specs, and a Bell Snow.
Note the paradox snows pick up the black Anery eyes, but the Bell Amels don't, and have more standard red albino eyes.

You need a webpage to show all them off. Those are some of the best pics arround and really show of the difference in the morphs.

Best,
Vinny

Great pics Roy. Hopefully I will produce some snows this year. I've been seeing some breading activity and have eight pairs of possible hets and one pair of 100%hets.
