Those are crazy looking! Would like to see them as adults.

 

[agv0008]

Aren't the albinos partially blind?

 

[Deac77]

Not always think they just hatched today so we will find out

 

[Rhetoric]

Im interested to see how these turn out and how much they end up asking.

 

[james.w]

Are they selling them ??

 

[Quartzyellowjacket]

If they're selling all of them why not keep a few to breed? I'd be cool if 3/4 Blue and 1/4 Red Albinos became common.

I bet they do keep a few but they are beautiful

 

[Thelegendofcharlie]

Those guys look crazy.
I wonder what they'll look like when theyre older.

 

[larissalurid]

I love albinos, but I feel so bad with the health problems they end up having.

[bmx3000max]

feel bad, they look neat but dont think its worth it for the price of thier health

 

[james.w]

What health problems do you guys think they have?

 

[bmx3000max]

i cant post it for some reason on here but go to bobbys threads on albinisum, exsplains the whole thing

 

[james.w]

I read the thread on albinism, but don't see any facts on health problems just opinions. Can you tell me what health problems they have that aren't opinion related, but fact?

 

[frost]

i have to agree with ya james.

 

[Deac77]

And these where not bred to be albino it was random they didn't expect it

 

[Bubblz Calhoun]

Albinism is a health defect in itself, especially for animals that require UVB and or are active during the day. Defects that are degenerative over time with too much sun or even artificial light exposure.

Here are a few things to start reading and make your own decisions about it.

Bobby didn't prove anything in that thread and had absolutely no scientific proof. There is speculation that UVB bulbs cause blindness but no one has done any form of a study or anything like that. However, that hatchling looks rather frail to me. I doubt it has to do with the fact it is an albino though.
