PRETTY COOL STUFF...OT

herpsltd Jun 30, 2008 10:13 AM

This is my second year of production of Albino Green Iguanas. I'm enclosing pics of last years and this years. It looks as though this albino gene may be similar to the Clark albino Retic Strain. You can get lavender, purple, or yellow albino Retics. Last year (there was only one clutch) all the babies were bright yellow with little pink. As you can see with this clutch they are WHITE, YELLOW AND PINK. In fact there is A LOT OF PINK AND WHITE. I have one more clutch due to hatch in about 9 days. Needless to say I'm excited over what's going to hatch. Every albino last year was yellow and out of 8 albinos this year ALL are like the 2 depicted. Thanks for looking.....TC

Congrats! They're too cute. I guess they wouldn't last long in the wild, but as pets, how cool to have. I'd love to see a picture of one as an adult if you have any?

Hello Tom,

Congratulations! Those are absolutely beautiful and truly stunning in person. The flourescent yellow of the body with the coral pink patterning is "jaw dropping!" Truly one of the most beautiful reptiles that I have seen, ever. Someone should find out how it is that these albinos can be raised, the way you do, in direct sunlight with absolutely no ill effects- even the eyes...Remarkable. Also, I hope you do decide to work with the prasinus group at some point, as they should be a high end staple someday(as are locale chondros, etc.). Thanks again and Best to You All- Mike
