Hi,

I'm new here and first want to introduce my self.
My name is Fred and live in the Netherlands.
I keep red foots for 14 years now, 2 male and 3 female.
Since 4 years I"m breeding with them, 59 hatchling last year.
I think red foots are great to keep and I like them a lot.
On the picture is a group hatchling from last year.

Welcome aboard Fred! WOW is that an albino or a hypomelanistic hatching there? Is that the only one that has popped up in your hatchlings? Very very nice. Congrats!

Welcome Fred.
Nice group-More pics please Love to see more pics of the albino. I have never seen one.

Hi again,
first off all thanks for the compliments.
Here ar a few more pictures of the albino's, enjoy them.

wonderfull.
how big are these guys?

Have you sold any of the albinos Fred? Do you find their eyes are even more sensitive to light then the normal redfoots seem to be? Thank you so much for sharing the pics, I would love to have one of your hatchling albinos if we could get it to the US. Ive only seen a hypomelanistic one available here in the states.

They are all from 2007 and the large one will be aboud 8,5 cm i think thats abit more than 3 inchess.

Whenn you keep them indoor there are no problems with the eyes.
I sold one till now and I think 2 will go to the US this sommer.

How do you manage to ship them to the US?
