Hi Shannon,
What did that albino tri-color come from ?, its the nicest tri-color albino I've seen. It has a low band count and also it looks like it has yellow on the bottm of the lateral scales. Anyways, thats a cool pic right there.

Wouldn't two of them be considered tri colors? I have been searching high and low for a definitive answer on what makes a tangerine albino versus a regular albino and can't seem to find anyone with a legitimate answer to what the determining factor is. While I fully understand they yellow orange and white is tri color albino I don't see where the one with 2 shades of orange wouldn't also be considered tri color as there are two distinctly different shades of orange. Am I simply being too literal or would this not be considered tri color by the definition of the term?
Not trying to knock on them by any stretch as both morphs are awesome looking snakes just trying to understand what determines which is which. Any help on better understanding of this would be appreciated.

This topic has been discussed many times before, its all a matter of interpretation of band colors, first off, many can't even distinguish reds vs oranges, How many times have we seen/heard someone say, wow that red is unreal on that tangerine, never knew the actual fruit could be red? From this comes the confusion of amelanistic tri-c's vr tangerine. The determining factor for a tangerine albino should be any closely resembling orange bicolored bands (orange and white) could be classified as such. All others with more pronouced triple variation of colors should be tri-colored amels....
Anybody are for red oranges...

The tri-colored albino is from a triple het to triple het breeding.My friend Bob Montoya produced her from animals bought from terry a couple years ago.That makes her possible het anery and hypo?Time will tell but I will breed my triple het male to her in a couple years and see if she is het for anything?
