Try looking up images on Google.com or Yahoo.com for the different albinos. I think it's Rainwater, Tremper, and Las Vegas?

I know that there are 3 strains, Tremper (from Texas) which were the first strain, then rainwater (Las Vegas), and finally Bell (Florida.

Tremper's and Rainwater look similar and half the time I can't tell them apart... okay, maybe more than half the time lol. I think that rainwater albino's color seems more washed out... kind of faded but I may be wrong. Both tremper and rainwater albino's have mostly beige eyes and when they get in the shade you can see some red.

Bell's are different because their eyes are so much more red than the other two, I've seen some that look orange!

I don't think I was much help but that's just my $0.02 lol
