    Albino - sight issues?

    Anyone have any info on this? How badly does the albinism affect ball pythons vision? Affect the feeding / general behavior?

    It shouldnt. Balls dont have amazing sight to begin with, the heat receptors are key.

    They hardly use their sight for feeding, other senses come into play more so. I've never herd of anyone having any kind of issue with albinos. mine acts like all my other ball pythons generally and honestly shes one of the best eaters I got.

    My albino doesn't act any differently from my non-albino animals...other than he's more curious but that has nothing to do with his Albinism.
