I was asking about the actual visuals. I know you would be able to tell them apart much easier as they grow, but I was talking hatchlings.


Thanks alot for your responses though
LOL Well... You knew someone was going to answer that way from the wording of the question

Its difficult to tell babies apart but if you see enough of them you catch on. The colors are slightly different and the eyes is what gives it away for me. I compare it the difference in eye color of fancy rats with "red" eyes. The albino rats have pink eyes. There are certain colors of fancy rat that have whats called ruby eyes. The color difference is subtle but noticable for people who have seen the difference. The lavender albino BPs have these ruby eyes. They color is deeper and more rich. High contrast albinos may have these deep ruby eyes but they are still usually not the same as lavender eyes. Plus the colors of a high contrast are different from a lavender. Just google pics of albinos and lavenders and study many pictures. You will be able to tell them apart before long.
