i have seen pics of the one albino green tree and to tell you the truth,i dont see how it is much different to say a high yellow or a canary green tree.i understand the value of albinos in other species,but in green trees,i dont see there being much of a color differance.am i wrong here?besides the red eyes,is the color really that much different than a canary to justify the high price?

Big difference if you ask me. The albino is a very golden orange as opposed to yellow. It too has the lavender highlights as with the canaries, but with a much cleaner overall look. When you combine this trait with other designers like extreme mite phase animals....it's only gonna get better. We've only seen one adult albino as of yet. When they are bred for color and pattern is when the magic is going to happen. I can't wait to see the first red albino baby! Come on Damon and Trooper!! Get to work!lol.

This is true. We still do not know what the albino gene is going to do when crossed with other colors. Right now we know what it does to the collors Green and White. What will it do with a high blue chondro? or a High yellow? Mite Phase? Calico? the list is endless. We are going to start seeing some wicked colors!
