Feeling like I'm right on this one but have seen a few pics of tangerines that looked like this and was a tad confused here. As far as I know my pair ( one pictured here ) are regular albino and not tangerine albino but what is the determining factor? Are the tangerines only two colors or is it if both non white colors are orange then it is tangerine? I'm mainly looking for confirmation and a description of how you classify the two. thanks

If theres 3 colors its a tri-color, 2 makes a tangerine, a little confusing I guess for people who dont know, a better term would be bi-color albino ???

Actually I did pretty much know but what threw me was in looking at snake pics over the last couple of months I have seen a couple of these called tangerine which I felt was wrong but also felt that where I saw the pics they would be labled correctly. Probably just a mistake when naming the files on the pics I'm sure but it had me wondering for a moment.

Oh yeah forgot to add thanks for the reply.

Hi Phillip,
I see tri-color albinos-(nice ones that do have more orangeish-yellow than a traditional tri-color yellow) labled as tangerines too. But if some one has a nice albino with a tangerine band, but not as bright as the others, why wouldnt they call it a tangerine ?, thats why i like tri-color and bi-color, but some tri-colors turn into bi-colors as adults too. But your snake is very pretty though.
