    Quick question on Albino ball

    I just picked up a VPI high contrast male albino. He is about 900 grams or so. His nostrils appear to be kind of red. Almost like his eyes LOL. Is this anything to be concerned with? My other albinos dont have a pronounced red to their nostrils like that. Other than that he appears perfect.

    Can you take a picture? My albino has pink nostrils, but not what I'd call red. You can always ask the breeder about it, too.

    They seem to be pinker around the nostril than my albino's are, but the pink shade itself seems pretty similar. If he's otherwise perfect, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Maybe someone who has seen more albinos will have more insight .

    Well hopefully it is nothing at all. I was told he just came out of shed so I thought maybe he was rubbing it on the cage or something but he doesnt have anything wrong with the snout. Maybe Im just being paranoid but my other two dont have it LOL
