Strange albino,...

Griesi Aug 22, 2003 02:10 PM

While all his brothers and sisters became darker and darker this 2 1/2 months old guy stays pinker as this picture does him justice.
What are your experiences? How will he turn out?

Best wishes from germany,

Karsten

Lots of albinos are light like that. Did you breed him yourself or buy? Is it a he, as you say? Males are often lighter due to higher incubation temps- leads to lighter albinos. Also I do think some gex are genetically lighter and brighter than others. Looks like a normal, light yellow banded albino.

Keep him warm- 90° on hot side and he should stay lighter as he grows up.
