stumbled upon this pic online... thought it was pretty cool, anyone have one?
pdrobber said:aww haha. i always wonder if it bothers them having food all over their faces. it's cute but I can't help but wipe it off, I worry when it's near their eyes/nostrils.
moswen said:oh i saved a little discovery channel show on dvr for my daughter about baby albinos in the wild, it's a kid show but it's an african legend about all the animals fighting about who was the most beautiful animal, so the "creator of the world" gave all the animals little white babies to remind them that their beauty is in their differences.
the end. cute story for a small child i think lol!
but i agree with deans, i love the white shell of the albinos but i would never be able to own an albino sulcata, there just would not be enough indoor/outdoor shaded area to comfortably keep him/her humanely. so i got an ivory lol! LOVE them.
DeanS said:Yeah! The white croc, the white baboon and the white lion...right? I love that one! The only one that didn't survive was the baboon. Then, as soon as it passed, another was born...amazing stuff!

zzzdanz said:I'm curious if anyone has seen the albinos actually have problems with the sun light or if it's just hear say.I know the albino iguanas have no problems with being in the sun,so again,just curious.
PeanutbuttER said:It's documented and it's independent of species. That's part of what makes an albino an albino. The red coloring in the eyes doesn't block out the light like a normal iris does. Are you certain those iguanas are true albinos? If they are just white without the pink eyes and called albino then they wouldn't have a problem. That's a common mistake people make when they call something albino.
