    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

What is the best way to tell the difference between a lavender albino and a high contrast albino? Some specimens have a light lavender tinting, but some aren't as obvious and look liks a really nice high contrast albino. We don't deal with lavenders yet, so we're not experienced in the morph yet. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

An albino may look to have a lavender tint, but a lavender won't look like an albino :)
i have produced albinos and albino spiders. and I just produced (through a loan) a lav spider and a lav and there's no mistaking the two.
 
Thanks Ryan. Any specific features we can look for? In terms of white and yellow coloring, I've seen some snakes I thought were lavender and they turned out to be really high contrast albinos.
 
these had zero meals in them, not even a first shed, and then the female at 300g. not the best pics.

Thanks for the pics Ryan. They look awesome. What if a lavender doesn't show a lot of lavender? I've seen some that had almost none but it turned to be one. I've seen flames like those on albinos too.
 
Yes flames, but that's where you can see the lavender because it's next to white. I suppose the parents, and the line of lavender make a difference... But just like with regular albinos, pastels, enchis, fires, etc you can't tell until they grow up. Regardless I can assure you that you won't be let down if you get a lav. :)
I have a super pastel that is not very pretty, I have seen numerous pastels that look better than her... However the stuff she produces is top notch, so it doesn't bother me as much. An she's het albino... :)
 
Good Lavs have a lot of purple , candino is better looks better then the best Lav out there I think it's going to be the cool thing with combos
 
Here is a good pic showing a Pastel Candino (left) and a Pastel Lav...Both about the same age...The Pastel Candino already has a purple hue and the Lav does not!
