and just happens to have a bit of pink eye......:shock:

I think you've got a bit of pink eye :lol: I suppose you've got a better pic? Looks yellow to me.

 

[Retic]

Yes, the eyes appear to be yellow. I think at best it's a hypo which should start a good argument

I heard of 2 albino salties being sold in the last 3 years in oz to private keepers, big money too $20000+ per animal, can anybody confirm this as i'd like to know if theres any breeding efforts. the one is this pic isn't an albino.

I lived down the road from the croc farm where snowy spent most of his life and that so called "albino croc" is far from it lol Heres snowy the albino croc who has now passed away poor thing he will be remembered.

it is probably the same as the one at aust zoo i think they called it lusistic, the one at aust zoo they got from a wa farm and they haven't managed to find a female for it yet as the last on they tried he attacked.

Thats what i'd call hypomelanism not the original croc. leustic would be white with blue eyes i would guess were as an albino would be white/yellow or lavender with red or pink eyes. I'm positive afew red eyed white crocs have been sold in oz reacently. come-on somebody must have seen or heard similar? i thought maybe crocosaurus cove in NT may have some?

 

[lizardjasper]

It's a salt and pepper breed! Very rare...

 

[BJC-787]

if you go to the australia zoo web site and look up casper it looks very similar

 

[Aussie Python Lover]

Well thats where snowy spent his last days fluffie at crocosaurus cove and fluffie snowy had either pink or blue eyes...So the croc in the river that had a white head so wasnt an albino lol Casper is a bit darker then snowy as snowy got older the more he got lighter.. He was a beautiful croc good old snowy he will be missed
