corn nut All I am saying is that albinism due to inbreeding is a sub fatal genitic disorder. I have not nessarily seen a reduction in reptiles, but for example I have seen this in diffrent species of rats, the albinos have a life span of about 1.9 years average while normals have a life span of 2.5 years average. this shorting of life is just somthing that exists in inbreeding in gernal is all.

sorry to say but bob clark is not the first to breed albinos. my albino stock that I have access to is from a neighbor, he's first albino ball was a WC from back in the early 70's when he was in college. Bob clark was the first to mass breed Ill give you that.
