I don't think there is any blizzard in there at all..........they look like Rainwater Albinos to me.

I have to agree. Blizzards have no visible pigmentation and are usually patternless. They look like Rainwater (Las Vegas) Albinos, especially because of their size (they look rather small).

Let me break it down.

It's definitely not a blizzard or a blazing blizzard.

We only guessed that it is a Rainwater albino.....it's just a guess. It is impossible to ID either of the three albino strains (Bell, Tremper, and Rainwater) purely from a photograph. In order to know what strain it is, you need to know the parents or you need to breed it to each existing strain.
