It can be a little hard to distinguish Hybinos from regular Albinos as hatchlings. Often times the Hybino hatchings will have some orange highlight around the head, bands, & base of the tail if you look really close. It's been my exsperience the past two years I've produced the Hybinos/Sunglows is they develope there color as they get older. I've had some get nice & orange in as little as 6 weeks & some not show there full potential till as late as 6 to 8 months. If you ever see adults or subadults side by side you will see a difference.
