    Re: Health Defects in Albinos?

    While I do personally think that a bright white and yellow snake would be easier to find in the wild versus a normal, I doubt it's nature's way of picking out a snake with weak genes o.O In my opinion, it's just another morph, just another set of genes, just like blond hair and blue eyes are recessive traits, which is why most people have dark hair and dark eyes, because these traits are dominant. There are however those BP morphs that do have defects associated with their specific genetics, like the Spider wobble, or the Caramel kinks, etc. In my opinion these are just defects that come along with the different genetics, and albinism isn't some way to get rid of these animals with weak genes. It's like, midgets (no offense intended to anyone of course), or being white, or black, or asian. It's genetics. If you mix an albino with a spider and get an albino spider, you're not ensuring this animals death and being cruel because all spiders have some sort of wobble, and albinos 'have weak genes.' Just like me being phillipino-german-polish doesn't make me a broken toothed nazi jew!
