The hatchlings were produced by crossing two hets, and not the offspring of an adult albino beardie.

No-one has raised an albino beardie hatchling to adulthood - at least, if they have, they have managed to keep it very well hidden so far

Like I said, if he does, he's kept it very well hidden.
I personally would love to see adult albino beardies.

This season Bob switched his males, and so far they have produced 10 albino's from 50 hatchlings. There was 1 albino in the first clutch and 9 appeared in the 2nd clutch... and with another clutch still incubating - who knows what his ratios will stop at! One thing is for certain at a 20% hatch rate of albinos this is definitely no fluke...
| That was from that link Miss B posted.
I don't think it's not impossible for him to have albino adults.

They all died while young. There are a few others who have tried to raise albino beardies, all with the same result (as far as I am aware).
There have been rumours that someone is breeding albino beardies and that they have managed to keep them alive right through to adulthood. These are supposedly unrelated to Bob Withey's line.

I was also told the same story, produced albinos but none survived.

from being deaf & or blind..........effects eating & balance.........love the white beardie...
WOULD NOT WANT ALBINO!... we would be weakening strength in bloodlines!
My opinion ...& dont mean to offend anyone! |

poor things, i think its something we shouldnt go into.. especially for a sun loving lizard. | |
