This little dude hatched from a Tri-colour albino x tri-colour het albino clutch. I have NO idea where the orange came from!! All 9 others in the clutch were PURE white and red and black, no orange.
Weird.

Thanx brother!!!! They actually aren't any more work. They eat 2x per week instead of one, so that's a bit more effort. Plus they poop alot more, but their humidity requirements are LOW so they can be kept on beta chip (aspen), which makes spot cleaning a SNAP. I would say that a rack of 10 adults would take about 20 minutes per day to keep care of.
3 males, 7 females, 10+ clutches per year easily (they double clutch rather effortlessly). 8 eggs per clutch average, so that's 80 babies. Even if they were normals that weren't het for anything, you could wholesale them for $100 each. $8K for like 3 hours work a week. Scary eh? :D
Thanks for the kind words dood! Look up Jamie. He posts here and has Hondos as well. He lives close to you I think.
Cheers. :D
