    What is the typical pattern for an albino?

    I've been looking at albinos for sale lately, and I've noticed a lot of pattern variation. What would be considered a "typical" pattern? Yes, I've looked on WOBP, but I'd like to be sure I'm looking at this right. From what I'm seeing, it would be separated yellow splotches on the sides of the animal with very few alien heads or any kind of marks inside the splotches. Yellow seems to be crossing into the white back. Is this about right, or am I missing something? It would be great if people could post pictures of their albinos so I can get a better idea.

    On another note, has anyone ever seen an albino with a completely white back? That looks amazing in my head.

    There is no particular pattern. It has a normal pattern. Just like normals have different patterns so do albinos.

    They can be busy or reduced, the rest is a matter of personal preference

    Usually albinos don't get me fired up, but man you've got a smoking example there, Deb!

    She actually belongs to Corey now (one of our members) as I really only had one project for her.

    Albinos just turn the black into white and the tan into yellow. Their pattern varies as much as a normal.

    Ok, I think I'm seeing the general idea. At what point do you consider an albino "weird"? As in, dinker project material.
