Hi-binos???

ragnew May 29, 2003 08:43 AM

Hi,

Recently I've heard many people using the term hi-bino to describe many of the albino geckos they've been producing. Is that just a cross between an Albino and a Super Hypo tang? Or is there something else too it?

In an albino animal melanin is usually replaced with white. So a Hybino is the word people are using to describe a albino with less than normal amounts of white coloration.(actually white is not a color its just lack of pigment). Hope this helps.

Actually I think its Hybinos as well.

Gotcha, so in a way it would be a Hypo Albino, (duh - hence the use of the Hy in the name.. )... Thanks for the info and I do appreciate it...
