opinions on albinos...which phase is your favorite?

TenorGoddess Jul 12, 2004 12:07 AM

Ok so I'm just curious, of all the albino variations with retics, what does everyone find more beautiful:

normal albinos (high whites, lavs, purples)
tiger albinos
amel albino normals
amel albino tigers (yet to see these???)

Hugs!

My fave has got to be the purple phase albinos hands down. I havent seen any tigers or supers with this coloration yet, but im sure they will be goregeous when they come out as well. The bright orange and yellow bordered by dark purple is just amazing. Hopefully Ill be gettin one here soon enough.

I guess since I own one I'm a little biased...but mine would have to be a dark lavendar or purple normal. I know there has been at least one purple tiger produced, but evidently it's being kept under wraps, so very few people have gotten to see it. I imagine there have been others, but they are quite a coveted snake.

I'm not a huge fan of the Type II albino retics, and frankly it amazes me that Type II tiger and now a Type II super tiger has been produced, when a relative few number of Type I tigers and supposedly no Type I super tigers exist.

I like the lavenders, mostly because that is what I have (although he looks like a white phase in these pics).

they all have there own unique beauty. If I had to choose I would take all the normal white phase albinos. Here is one of my '03 females.

I've owned all three phases and there's a reason the purple phase command more money. Of course it's a matter of personal preference but I like the high contrast of the dark purple, sharp orange and yellow patterns. The lavender phase are pretty also but tend to look lighter as the patterns get stretched out as they grow. My purple phase are lighter than when I got them a year ago. They're all beautiful animals, howevever.
