If you go to http://herptrader.com.au/AlbinoOlive/ you will also get to read the story about them.

I maybe wrong, but seems like a very quick sale, i would believe it if it was a breeding pair of GTPs, but a hatchling pair of albino olives

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Feb-04 Location: Sydney | | | | So say this pair had babies, what are the chances of albinos hatching?? Whats is their genotype? |
