The Albinos have been around for awhile now, it would be neat to see some of the 1st ones to hit the scene , back when they cost more than a pretty penny.

NO BEAUTY LIKE THE BEAUTY OF A TRUE REDTAIL !!

I've been posting her a lot lately it seems, anyways, here is a full body shot of Kelly aka Lemondrop, my female albino.
She was born 1998 and was originally purchased from Peter Kahl (I did verify this), I am her second owner. I got her in March of 2002. This pic was when she was in quarantine. As you can see for her age at that time (4 yrs) she is big, prior owner powerfed.

She had one litter in 2003 and will hopefully have another in 2006. She is just now almost 7' and approx 20-25lbs.

What year were the first albinos produced?

answered my own questions with a tiny bit of research
haha
SO, 1992 was the first year albinos were produced, 1990 being
the first year hets were produced. Where are all these original
albinos? Dead? Still going strong? Probably under lock and
key somewhere... it would be neat to see some of the fist ones and the ones that started it all.

Im getting her from Frank Martin (not in my possesion yet, 2 weeks! I am moving... waiting until I get moved). Im not sure who produced her, I need to ask Frank.

I couldn't get her out for a pic due to her being busy..

and the second part of the pic
