Here's a pic of my "pair" of albino red ear sliders. The one on the left is definately a male and is 3 1/2 inches SCL and 1 1/2 years old. The other is my new temp sexed female. She's 2 1/4 inches long and 7 months old. So far so good on her being a female...I'm just hoping the tail stays small and she is in fact a female...

Awesome I would love to have a female for my one male albino, mine cant see well but still tries to mount my regular female, I guess I coule eventoally get albinos out of tha babies to them if they breed all I have to do is breed the babies to the father so yeah I'll try but it will just take a while. Cool pic anyway.

Very nice male...I know all about the eye sight thing. Luckily my male hasn't had it too bad...he eats on his own fine, although he misses the food once in a while...:-P

My new female hasn't eaten yet but I just got her yesterday so she should start eating soon...

They are beautiful looking but unfortunately they do tend to have difficulting seeing. They can't seem to focus well on things. Still are pretty though.

...would breeding back to the father really be responsible...? Especially if the father is having eye sight problems?

Careful breeding programs with unrelated pairs are needed to maintain HEALTHY mutations...

They are unrelated. I would never breed back related pairs. Plus mostly all albino res have eye sight problems...
