Talking about albino bearded dragons, A good friend of ours who is in charge of the Pogona mitcheli project for True Blue has just asked me a few minutes ago if he can euthanase three of the albinos because they are clearly not responsive enough and have to be forced fed, sometimes lay on their backs and can not get up right unassisted and are generally lethargic. We have agreed that these should be euthanased. Sad, but such is life.

Cheers Dave

Dave,
Thats the same way all the albino vitticeps went that I had here. A shame but obviously something that just isn't meant to survive. BTW are those from the same lineage as the ones you gave me?

its true ,albino ewd do exist.there is a population of easterns in the sydney area where albinos do turn up every now and then,and yes i have seen a real live animal from this area about 4 years ago. it was the first and last i saw of this animal and it was in the hands of a non herping father and son who found it while walking in the bush near there house. it was only a hatchy but seemed to be fairly active and healthy looking, so hopefully its a strong line and someone can get them up and breeding. cheers troy

found online at another aussie reptile forum, by a guy who entered it in a reptile comp.

so assume its the same guy/lizard

I am not quite sure and you may want to clarify that with Troy. Our friend hatched out 4 albinos with three showing negative traits or problems. The fourth one is a lot more active but not as active as the normal siblings. It does actively thermoregulate its self but still needs assist feeding. Hopefully we can produce a few more like this one but clearly it is going to be a difficult long term challenge to produce a healthy problem free line of albinos and maybe we can’t.

Cheers Dave
