"High Contrast albino"...yeah right.

[Big Gunns]

Albino's are just boring to me. Maybe its because it my first constricter was an albino burm and I got him in 1995. Albino everything has been around forever. The whole high contrast thing is a load of bull when you consider what they look like 5 years down the road. Like pastels or calicos. It doesnt matter what you call it as a baby. All babies look good. But is it gonna fade away? Brown out? Loose all its orange? etc..

This is why I went for the caramel albinos. SO much more you can do with them and they look good as adults.

Stay awy from the gigh contrast thing. Even if it was created starting with a very dark normal with solid blue/black markings and the babies look amazing. It just wont look that good as an adult.

You feel this way because of all the "high contrast" labels that have been put on most albinos. Look at the adult in the link BG posted. A really old animal may not look that great, but a true "high contrast" will stay nice as an adult.

As far as Caramels go, BG stayed away forever until he got a perfect(no kinks) wild caught male. He was too afraid of kinking.

Eh.. I still prefer the caramels and my 2 hets were produced by 8 Ball. Supposed to be a great line so Im hoping for no kinks. I think for me its because of the bees, lemon blasts etc.. All the yellow and orange gets to be too much lol. But the caramels, toffee, and your very own candy balls in your own words.. Look good enough to eat

I know Eugene Bessette has HC Albinos

My het albinos come from Justin Kobylka's "high-contrast" line, and I have seen the parents... they definitely lost some of their contrast over time, but appear to still be quite stunning. And since I actually paid less than usual for my het pair, I don't really mind if their babies end up looking like normal albinos. And no, I won't charge extra for any albinos they produce - just going rate for the usual lines. But I get your original point BG, which is precisely why I studied their parent's pictures before buying.

I don't know if my adult male is as bright as the one on that web site , but I would consider this guy high contrast.
