Aussie albinos

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows what species of Aussie pythons have albinos. It is commonly known that Darwin Carpets and Olives have albino blood lines in captivity, but are there any other species that have them?

Cheers.

Corey.

I know of an albino spotted python. Last time I heard it was held by Queensland Parks and Wildlife in Townsville.

aren't albino beardies common just don't stay alive? Or is it the same mob with the same hets that keep trying without success?

There are pic's circulating of albino tiger snakes, copperhead snakes and red bellies but I don't think they are in captivity.

Can't all species of animals be albino? I never done any research into it.

I think some people need to re-read the initial question

The mistake people make is assume albinos are white and hypos have no black.
