    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....

Hey, guys. So, I picked up a couple Albino males in a group of animals I purchased a while back, and thought they looked interesting. I know that there is a great deal of variation in albinism, and my male breeder is even paler and more faded looking than most I have seen, so I didn't give much thought to it to begin with... Then, I did. What really got me thinking was the extreme blushing and the fact that the "eyes" on the alien head side markings are almost all totally yellow. There is also a much darker yellow on the border of most of the patterning than the yellow elsewhere. Not trying to see something where it's not, but these guys are pretty much identical, which made me think that there could be a dominant trait involved here as well. I was thinking Pastel, because of the extreme blushing, but after looking at pictures didn't think that was the case. The closest thing I have found has been Yellowbelly, but obviously can't be sure. I bred the older male to several het females, along with the mother of the younger male. Hopefully, I can get a nice female out of the pairings. Check these guys out, and let me know what you think. I included pictures in natural, as well as, artificial light to give different perspectives.

Blush line. The hets will come out axanthic looking and change to normal looking after the first shed. One of the few lines that makes it easy to spot a het.
 
Thank you, Steve. I just looked around at everything I could find on the blush line. Pretty cool. I just hope I get a female blush. I don't plan to keep the males, mainly because my albino male is such an eager breeder. I paired both the blush and my low contrast male with 4 het females, hopefully the odds will be on my side. At least I will be able to tell which hets are which when they do hatch out.
