Not sure if it is a true albino or not, could just be a very light phase.

It is a possibility that that female is a albino, but accesive high heat stress can blanch/bleach a chameleons color so they look similar to a albino. albinos are also ver sencitive to the sun and i doubt that a cham could servive very long after being born a albino, of course thats just what i think...

[reptiguy123]

Could they change colors?

[Collide]

could the albinos change colors??? donno i doubt it though.

[reptiguy123]

Hmmmmmmmmm. I never thought about this before.

That sucks.

lol, how would you know if it was an albino? Maybe it is an albino but he chooses to chagne his colour to green all the time. I don't think an albino chameleon would make sense... my 2 cents

I thought albinism meant lacking pigments. How can you change colour if you have no colour?

I just thought about that yesterday *smack forehead*.

Sean, do you know if that cham had pinkish eyes? If so, it could be albino.

[Sean Day]

I cant remember the discussions about it. If you search the old KS cham forum you will probably find a lot of discussion about it.

[reptiguy123]

Yeah, probably.
