Many have done it, but i recommend try doing it with unrelated pairs and the best part is you get all albino's.

I have done it w/100% hatch rate!

I actually did it this year for the first time. I was very nervous about it but I ended up with 100% success and 8 perfect albinos.
Good luck

Genetically an albino from albino X albino shouldn't be any different than an albino from het X het. Take for example that the het parents could even be siblings of the albino parents. In that case no more inbred.

Now if there really are some examples of albino X albino producing worse results on a regular basis (doesn't sound like it so far in this thread) possible reasons might include albino females not making as good of eggs as non albino females but I don't see how it could be the genetics of the offspring them selves.
