So many different albinos.

ChristopherM Jul 07, 2009 11:12 PM

Ok so I did a little digging and this is what i came up with. First you have your type 1 albinos white, lavender, purple. You breed any of those combinations together and you get white, lavender and purple.
Next you have type 2 and this would be clark strain albino.
Then there is type 3? I have no idea what this is?
Finally there is Caramel albino which looks like a caramel albino ball.

So let me know if im right about these and if anyone knows about type 3 or has pictures i would love to see them.

Thank you - Christopher Metro

You have:
Clark strain albinos which produced whites, lavenders, and purples.
Sharp strain albinos, you don't come across them too often anymore, but they only produce a "white phase" looking retic.
Amel retics in which the albino gene lines up on a different allele and is not compatible with other albino strains.
The blonde/caramel albinos which appear to be a T albino, but there seems to be some question about the compatiblity within this group (Bob Clarks line and the Baldagos line).

And there are still wild caught albinos that are found whose compatibilty with other known strains will have to be determined.
