Okay, Chris wins with that amazing high contrast boy but his het sister - YOWZAH! What a pattern!
Oh, I guess the other albinos don't suck either. :D :carrot:

Re: Post your albinos!
price can be determined by strenght of contrast (high low) in some cases

Re: Post your albinos!
Everyone's albinos are awesome; I know now that I need to add one to my rack in the next few months. Some items will be sold on ebay; some extra hours will be worked; I am fiending!
Actually, I dont find anything wrong with your question, I actually think it's a good one ;).....are you asking what to look for as far as health and whether its a quality animal? or are you asking what traits to look for in a neonate Albino, that will translate into a real nice adult specimen?
I'm browsing through zillions of hets so I can make my own albino....so I spend a lot of time looking at the albino parents of these hets, and there seems to be a wide range of shades and patterns. How do you choose one over another? Is it just personal preference, or are there certain indicators one should be aware of? Also, I've been acquiring normal females who are reduced and/or banded because I very much prefer those, but also looking at ones who are more yellow than brown, because it seemed like those would produce brighter offspring. Is this the correct train of thought?

Re: Post your albinos!
I would want to see pics of the parents before buying a het; but then again I want to see parents of anything I buy :) Just go with what you like best; I prefer the nice, clear-cut albinos with a lot of white.

High contrast for the win! One of my hets came from a nice looking high contrast albino.
Someday I will have an albino! (I've been saying that for years!). Since I probably won't be able to afford one outright anytime soon producing my own will make that day all the more uplifting :) My pair is only about a year old so I've got lots of time yet.
