An albino that isn't white is still an albino and a hypo that has black in it is still a hypo, very few hypos have no black at all.

those red eyes just look evil

Just out of curiosity, how much do the albino adders go for roughly and exactly what type of adder are they (or are there more than one species of adder in captivity that are albino)?

Cheers,
Ish

The white roaches were most likely normals - they all go white for a short time after they go through a moult

That's exactly what they were.
But there have been a few threads posted by excited members thinking they had albino's lol. My post was meant as sarcasm, hence I was lmao and I do so everytime a new "albino woodie" thread pops up.


On a serious note there was a wild albino red belly captured in Sydney some years ago...

Albino

Does anyone know where the Albino spooted's are hiding or how long they've been around? I haven't heard too much about these ones only saw that they are sugeested as an albino breed in 'Breeding and Keeping Australian Pythons'.
