albino turtle collection

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks Albinosunlimited. Unfortunately I dislike albinos...I think it dates back to my childhood when I awoke in the middle of the night to find my albino hamster sitting on my face, peering at me with his beady red eyes.... ;)
 
whatever happened to the albino Florida Softshells, and the albino Podocenmis unifilis? My buddy M. Powell, told me he imported/had one of those suckers, and sold it off. Did anyone ever work with it?

high percentage of albino turtles i would be suprised (not including albino redears )if there where more than 125 albino turtles world wide.
of course, thats the reason you havent included the red ears ;)
 
still not answering my question mate. your turning this into a flaming match.
all im asking is if you knew or not.
requires a yes or no answer, not a 'this, that, i know this' from either of us. If you continue avoiding the question and twisting it,then the bickerings gonna continue..:S

oh and please just reply to the writing in bold this time which is what ive been asking from the start rather than arguing about percentages of turtles..
 
Well if he didn't he certainly does now... the only way this will turn into a flaming match is your desperate need for him to answer.

Many (if not all for as much as I know...) albino animals including humans suffer vision problems as development of the retina in the back of the eye is abnormal with albinos (in fact with humans I think it is part of the classification of being albino-many are also legally blind). It means a lot of animals are vision impaired in comparison to their normal counterparts by varying degrees. Rats for example 20/600 for most rats and 20/1200 for albino rats. With snakes... It probably won't make a great deal of difference because they generally don't have the best of vision and have other far more superior ways of "seeing". I'm pretty sure if your going to be against these, you'd have to be against all albino's including humans-and should such not breed.

There are far worse traits that are being bred in different animals, which you could class as cruel...
 
i am not bickering i am saying [I will breed all my albino turtles and i do not believe they have any issues they suffer from]and i am well aware of reptile genetics and morphs
i have over 200 ball pythons pritty much every known morph.
plus albino monitors, albino salamanders, and albino frogs

i also work with other rare pythons
bolens, angolans and a few others

I'd love to see some boelens pics if you have any... love those pythons. Good luck in your breeding efforts, have you bred any currently?
 
I see pics of how much people cool them by... sometimes it looks worrying lol, they have to go so low in temperature to breed.
