Hatched Ruby-Eyed Albinos ?

From APTOR X Het APTOR ! OK i was a little skeptical (still am ) even seeing it with my own eyes , but now i have hatched a second from 83 dg. inc. and allthough the eyes are darker than the first , i do not beleive these to be eyes of a "Normal"-eyed Tremper Albino from low inc. temps . they are a dark red, almost maroon in color in person , from edge to edge with a much darker ,RED-ish , but visible slit (pupil) , i beleive the lower temps also affect the brightness/darkness of an Albinos (even the "Rubies") eyes, at least the Tremper strain does .

There really werent very many Female Het APTORs or APTORs released , so im interested to see if anyone else ended up with APTORs Het for Ruby Eyes.

Also if my APTOR & Het are Hets , im doing pretty darn well . 6 eggs (so far) ,1 egg actually perished , 3 hatchlings so far , 2 are Ruby Eyed ,when i would expect only 2-4 this season (only one female) from Het X Het breeding. 2 being Het APTORs like this Male below , and the 3rd is fully a R.A.P.T.O.R. !!! LOL

first Het APTOR hatched 6-8-05 from 90 dg. inc.

right eye
left eye

Neat huh ?

Enjoy , try to post the second one that hatched yesterday , 'she`s' a fully "patternless" one too !

Now here is the second , hatched 6-22-05 from 83 dg. inc.


First eye pic is how it looks in person , kinda DARK Red


Now this is with more lighting and it seemed to come out brighter than it even looks in person


she`s perty !

Interesting....

are you able to take any closer photos of just the eyes in sunlight...?

I havent been able to get pics of the eyes in any brighter light than in the last pic of the "female" due to their sensitive eyes . she just popped yesterday and it took me over an hour to get those 2 (last pics) . everytime she`d stop moving would close her eyes LOL I was able to get her fairly used to being handled though .

going to try again today to get a pic of the third 90 dg. Het APTOR (also hatched yesterday) that looks to have normal pink/red eyes , and some more of these 2 .

The eyes are the same in lighter and darker conditions and the "female" i can definately see the pupil , that normally "shines" red in lower light on some Tremps while the background is red . you can kinda see the slit in the pic taken in the light . That and the fact my other Albinos from this same temp are hardly red at all is why i decided to post .

Post some photos when they begin to reach 20g or so..... it'll be easier to judge when more mature.

I agree w/ you on that . they are pretty small and do NOT sit still LOL

Can't wait to see them when they are older, if the eyes stay red, they wil be awesome

it will interesting to see how they develop with time and if the eyes change

Very interesting....

Why yes.. quite the perplexing subject
