Cam, didn't know you had an internet presence. Cool find! You also found a grayband (or was it Chip )? Post some pics! We are out on river road for the next few nights. Hopefully we will find something.

Tyrosinase-negative would be your regular albinos, while T-pos. ones are the 'caramel albinos'.

p.s. Nice find!

I was the driver in the Xterra that night in Langtry that stopped and talked to you for a moment.. The animal is stunning.

What is the gender? I have not kept up with all the getula morphs, but I think there is a "snow" version of the desert kings that would let you make a group of triple hets out of the gate. I wish you luck with this new project....

Isn't it a hypomelanistic?

Nice looking animal.

Definite Lifer!
