Can you convert a Chocolate Albino?!

Is it true that if you cross two chocolate albinos and incubate the eggs at high temps you can get lighter albinos?
Sorry if it's a stupid question...

Yes it is true. Light colored albinos come from higher temps while "chocolate" albinos are the result of lower incubation temperatures.
