Perhaps I am still missing something here but once again I have to ask. Does anyone have an actual definition as to what makes a tangerine albino versus an albino? I ask because once again I see two distinctly different shades of orange and have seen it defined as it has to be two colors not 3. Not trying to say this isn't tangerine but merely trying to understand what defines the two morphs.

A normal "tri-color" albino so to speak has yellow on orange with white.... The "tangerines" have orange on orange with white... orange = tangerine

My other computer screen was dark. Phil, I see what you are talking about. The tangerine albino's that Albino Tri-colors produces are more orange/red color and usually one shade. This pic is what I like to call an intermediate tri-color albino, because background color is more of a orange with a hint of yellow makeing it a lighter color orange. I have produced a few of these and sold them labeled as just "Albino"

any other opinions?

....Gosh that is nice!

Phillip, I have no idea what the distinction is but that is nice.

I totally agree it is a great looking snake. I have just been trying to narrow down where the defining factor between what is tangerine albino and tri color albino lies. So far though I have yet to find anyone who can actually define it though. Not that it truly matters in the grand scheme of things I suppose but it can become a tad confusing when on one hand folks will say that 3 colors equals tri color and on the other hand it has been said that as long as both colors are orange it is tangerine. It seems to be more up to what the individual decides to call it than any actual guidelines.

I can fully understand the orange concept but I guess my question is at what point does the difference in shading make it no longer tangerine. Yellow bands clear cut tri color and I can see why but tangerine albino I still don't get where folks come up with what is and what isn't.

Why is this snake that you posted a pic of a few posts down considered a -tangerine albino-

But THIS snake is considered a -peach phase-?

They look almost identical, wtf??? I'm not trying to be rude I am just really confused!

Thanks Scott.........chris

Sorry, Don't know exactly what to call it.............just really like her............thanks for all who responded...........chris

Wasn't trying to confuse ya or to dispute what you called your snake. More like trying to clear up confusion on my part. I just like to be able to identify what I'm looking at when i see it and this particular morph has me still wondering.

Phil

phil, i'm just as confused as you are........don't feel bad........i probably put improper title to snake........chris

see some pix of "just" tangerines, and discuss the differences between wild type tangerines and wild type tricolors, first, see if anyone can propose a good definition of the two types, and THEN see how that translates to albinos?

for what it's worth, i cons9ider tangerines and tricolors to represent ends of teh continuum. I believe that whatever definitions anyone comes ukp with, there is very probably going to be an animal--or animals--that fall between the two and would be classified as intermediates.
