    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....

Hello everyone,
I am fairly new to retics and about two weeks ago I bought a lavender albino golden child retic from Prehistoric Pets.
The more I've been looking at it, I am beginning to think it's not really a golden child, but a motley perhaps?
I am not too familiar with retic morphs, but know what a regular golden child looks like. I've always appreciated the normal ones and when I saw the ad for an albino version I jumped on it.
Attached are a few pics of her.
Could you guys determine if it's actually a golden child and not something else?

Thank you.

Need more/better pics. Do you know the pairing that produced it?

You could also throw some pictures up in the Retic Nation and Slither Inc Facebook groups and see what people think.
 
I don't know the pairing, but I know the sibling they also had was a albino sunfire golden child. Here are more pics after her shed today.

The first quarter of her body is the golden child shatter pattern, then it phases into this normal or motley look? Is it just me or does she not look different?

100% albino golden child. It's just a weird pattern. The fading tail in purples is actually a trait PP has been known to charge more for, even though it's not a proven extra trait, just something cool that sometimes happens.

Okay thank you for confirming.
I didn't even realize the weird pattern when I was at the store cause I was stoked to get it lol.
What does trait PP mean?
