[mojo2776]

Nice looking little fella.

[proaquatics]

whats the price of these guys now a days??

[albinosunlimited]

i dont really know i have not seen any for sale in a while my friend brought this in from africa for me. the last ones i saw for sale where like 7500

[oceanobsession289]

Pretty sweet! I love the pattern on those guys. How hard is it to find albinos?

[albinosunlimited]

i believe there are only 4 or 5 others in the us

there where 2 born in africa this year i got one the other i believe went to japan

[Vicious_Fish]

Wow, I've never seen one before. That's a great looking lizard. What is his/her chance of making it to adulthood?

[albinosunlimited]

it is about 6 months old and is close to 3 1/2 feet

[shells-n-scales]

Ben Siegel use to have one... but I dont know if he still does...

[albinosunlimited]

i think he still has his

[shells-n-scales]

You know what I'm waiting on.... having a local bring me a Albino Rio Grande Slider (I think those would be SUPER BRIGHT YELLOW)..., a good friend of mine found some albino BLACK SPOTTED NEWTs awhile back. Unfortunately, they died of a bacterial/fungus infection.

[jason longboard]

i think he still has his
dude are you a big breeder or something,movie star maybe,what gives?Killer nile though.

[Gourami Swami]

he is probably a breeder/dealer, look at his name.

Anyway, that is a beautiful monitor. Take good care of it! :)

[arowana man]

hes a soon to be monster

[deangelo]

nice little critter...

[albinosunlimited]

i would say more of a collector, hobbyist then a real full time breeder i do sell animals but i have another full time job and business

[Vicious_Fish]

What is his/her chance of making it to adulthood?

I repeat. Does it handicap them at all or will they live a long, normal life in captivity as an albino?

[albinosunlimited]

it will live a long normal life in captivity the only thing that makes it hard for albinos to live in the wild is that they are easy pray for other animals

[Vicious_Fish]

Ok, just making sure. I was wondering if being albino for that species gave it any other genetic issues like a weaken immune system or whatever.

[albinosunlimited]

i know the other albinos in the country are around 10 years old and i dont believe they have had any health issues

[davo]

Nice monitor! I saw a pic of an albino Varanus dumerilii... supposedly the only one, although the article is old and now there may be more.

[CTU2fan]

Nice monitor. Saw a pic of a snow nile once, I think it was in Cali. Very cool.

[Bogwoodbruce]

Yet another amazing creature.

[neoprodigy]

wow...

[Gourami Swami]

How about some new pics? I want to see it as an adult :D

[Kioka]

The only problems linked with albinism in reptiles I think is eye-sight and skin sensitivity to UV light. However those can be accommodated.

[Connor0729]

what a beauty. its amazing what mother nature can do eh?

[Nate77]

One nice nile.

[varanio]

Nice nile, there are other species which have leucisim sp? albinism as well, as Davo mentioned the Dumerilli, Salvator, Kingorum "Leucisim", Doreanus, and Bosch's I think all have had an individual with either or except for the kingorum which is true Leucisim.

[davo]

I know of someone here that has leucistic kingorum, but never seen one.

[malawi haps]

Beautiful specimen!!!!!!! Take good care of that jewel.

[Death Pony]

AWESOME!!!! Beautiful nile.

[Gr8KarmaSF]
