Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am looking for anyone who has any information about the differences in:

growth rates
reproductive behavior
survivorship
behavioral differences

between albino reptiles and the regular species. i know that alot of you have albino species and was wondering if you could give me some first hand knowledge on this topic for my report. thanks to all that help!! niki

Is this boas specifically you need info on? Because I know at least with corn snakes, there seems to be no apparent difference between albino vs. normal (except for the color ) I think many other species are like that as well.

The only thing different (like the other guy said) would be the color. Other than that growth, behavior etc etc is just like any other snake

Albinism is just one little change in one little gene. It can happen to any animal. All the other genes are unchanged. Heck, the snakes themselves don't even know they're albino. I'd say the biggest difference is... the price!

>>> i know that alot of you have albino species

Albinos are not a species. A lot of us have albino animals.

In his poop..... Get it all over him.... Strangest thing.

Not kidding.
