Albino w/ pinkish tinge???

Hello,

I have a 22yr old normal that I have had since a baby and I just acquired an albino that weights 182g. I was wondering - he turns pinkish towards his head-is that normal? He's not very bright yellow, but has some great markings. Just wondering about the pink. I have seen lots of pics of albino's but not any with this pinkish tinge them. Let's see if can post pics.

Sorry pics are awful, ill try again

Yeah, pics distorded. Maybe he is going to go into shed? Not sure about albinos, but have heard that say a pied, where they are white, turn pink when going into shed.

Yeah my pied turns pinkish when going into shed... my albino is usually white. I havent seen her turn pink before.

Hopefully better

My albino's will turn pink when going into shed. Wait a week or so and see if it does.

Picture still suck, sorry.

Thanks for the replies - that makes since. I didn't think he was going into shed because I just got him a week ago and he had a piece of loose skin on his head and I assumed he just shed. But that was probably a silly assumption, thanks!

My Albino's belly will pink and her yellow will dull when going into shed.

most balls with white in them can have a pink look from anything like laying on something or shedding.

Ok, I am trying to figure out how to upload theses pics better, I think I figured it out.

You got it this time! I'd say it's not about a shed because the pinking is only on the head. Maybe a minor burn or from bumping head on the side of the enclosure?

You guys were right, he just shed last night. Ppl said its hard to tell when albino's are about to shed if your not used to seeing it and wow is that true. Total surprise this morning. I'll be more aware next shed.

Don't know why the pic about is so yellow, this is more accurate. Still looks pinkish, but not so much in real life.

My Pewter Pieds and Albinos heads will turn pinkish when they get a bit overstimulated. The labials get very pink during feeding.
