Diffrent animals are effected diffrently by albanism. Some mammals develop eye porblems, and skin sensitivity to the sun is obvious.
Reptiles are also effected diffrently depending on the species. It was questioned as to how the thick tailed gecko could be blind if albino. Well the answer is not that simple,,if providable at all. But the bearded dragon suffers side effects relating to development from albinoism aswell. Where the pythons don't seem to at all.
It's true that without the pygment that the rest of the species has, such as the black markings on a blue tounge lizard, I'd imagine the albino counterpart has diffrent heat requirements as it lacks these heat obsorbing markings. I know the water dagon does.
That however does not mean the albino should be subjected to less heat or sun.
Eye problems are often associated with albinoism. Slightly off the topic i've heard that white cats with blue eyes are completely blind. The reason for this might be as unknown as the reason albinos can have eye problems too. Not saying of course they all do.
To answer you're question without further rambling, if you're keen on a new albino pet. My advice is do some research. Ask experienced people about it. The breader should be happy to forward on any advice aswell. This also goes for any new pet you get.
