    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Always wondered why they were called leucistic. I thought leucistic has regular pigmented eyes and albinos had pink eyes due to tyrosinase deficiency affecting neural crest cell migration. Retinal pigmentation is derived from the neural tube which is not affected by tyrosinase...at least that’s my understanding Always confused by this
 
they are definitely leucistic and not albino. they have pigment in their eyes. their iris is not pink or red. its a mutation of the leucophore not a tyrosinase deficiency. their eyes are not all red just the pupil with blue ring( very common in many leucistics animals). even leucistic axolotls are like this unless they are melanoid albino and if albino they wouldnt be white they would be yellow upon hatching lucy ribbed newts are white unless they are fed heavy carotenoids which can turn them yellowish in appearance plus i have piebald ribbed newts (Partial leucistic)
 
Iris ring!! That’s being up close and personal with those damn newts!! Cool. Thanks for the clarification. I always wondered about this. Regards. David
