whats a albino in the egg look like

At day 56 I would expect at the least a very faint yellow pattern, unless temps are actually lower. Just keep watching it and you'll see the color and pattern come in. Also, maybe you have a faded albino in there, but you will still see it come in.

For the record mine was from a DH VPI snow clutch so imagine my disappointment when the pattern and color started to come in. The albino turned out killer looking and is a keeper. Keep us posted.

If you had 2 het albino parents and you see a pretty whitish snake..I would guess it is an albino.

pics would be nice. ;)

With my clutch last year I thought I had only one poss het parent so I wasn't expecting a white/yellow snake to poke his head out. When Jeff and I candeled them about a week prior to them hatching he told me that he saw a white snake in the egg but i thought he just wasn't getting a good view of the snake. He said it just looked white in the egg with very little pattern. He was right...it was an albino.

Anyway...good luck and can't wait to see!

:gj:

*the one in my avi is the albino I got. It had a very light pattern. Also...the babies have a pink hue at birth but it goes away.

i know all i can expect is an albino but this is my first albino clutch so it was just weird when i couldnt see ANY pattern on the lil guy. all the rest are PH albino normals but i cant be disappointed cuz i got 6/6 live and something white HAHA i dont have a camera sorry mine got full of sand over the summer :sigh2:

Well, congrats can't wait to see some pics! Maybe you got totally lucky and popped a snow lol. That would be awesome and I've seen stranger things happen with some clutches (axanthic pied anyone???) :D. Good luck!

so i am kinda freakin out. the white lil guy is the only one not to poke its head out so i poked at it a little and didnt see any movement. im gonna be so bummed it it doesnt make it :confused:

What day is it again? When did you last see movement from it?

today is day 61 and last time i saw movement was day 56, but those are the only 2 times i have really checked on him for movement. yesterday when i looked inside i could see his head which i couldnt see before so i know hes been moving around but he didnt do any squirming like before. yesterday everybody else was blowin bubbles and chillin wit their heads out

Can you by chance snap pics so perhaps maybe we can see if the egg were cut too early and perhaps the color isnt fully developed? ...not trying to be morbid....just want to help ya! :salute:

ya its all good. ill try to get a good pic tonight. i cut the eggs on 56 and temps were right on the whole

Any update?
