In a nutshell, Udo... I also think the term 'albino' is used as a kind of merchandising.
Albinism (to me) is a recognised condition where an animal lacks ALL pigment. I still cannot find any scientific treatise to contradict this. All I can find is the 'naming' system introduced by snake breeders.

I don't pretend to know, so I am open to further education on this.... Who says that a colourful snake can be correctly named 'albino'?

I've said it before and I'll say it again... I know very little about genetics, but I know what I've read and what I've learned.... Albinos lack ALL pigmentation, don't they? Who decided that snakes are outside these rules?

Cy was sold as albino, does he look albino?



Snowflake is called a Snow, but to me a true albino..



the "Christmas Albino" radix is all white, with a yellow stripe and some light spotting, very pretty, but there is color??? so me thinks that "Christmas Albino" was invented to help market the color.
