Thought the black/blue eye was odd

Yep....the easiest to spot give away.

Unlike albinism, leucisim does not affect the pigment of the eye so the eye remain normal colours as optical pigmentation is controlled seperately to hair/skin/feathers. Albinism affects ALL pigments, so the eyes go red do to the blood vessels underneath showing through becuase the pigment no longer covers them.

I prefer the looks of most leucistic animal to albinos.

not wanting to get into an argument but I reckon the peacock is also Leucistic not albino...they are reasonably common..saw a few in wildlife sanctuaries in tassie recently...(sorry the only reptiles out in beginning of Sep in Tassie were the black Tigersnakes..all the others were still in their hides...too cold).if you look at the photo of the peacock it seems as tho it has normal dark coloured eyes....but in any case, great photos Dickynee.

It is leucistic , and i think you'll find JasonL was just stirring Josh

hahah ok Then I would like an leustic OR albino...
Haven't even looked at its eyes.

what ripper shots brett, What lense were you using?

 

[beatlloydy]

I may be wrong but I think only albino humans dont have the pink eye...but many have pale blue eyes....One thing I learnt is that most albinos of any species have very poor vision.
