Yeah, he's just a good 'ol "regular" (read: stunning) albino ;)
Though he gets that pink tinge every time he eats... like in the 2nd and 3rd pics but not sure why. Shrugs

Their heart swells up to increase the rate of flow of their blood to aid digestion which causes them to look flushed.

That last picture is awesome, how'd you manage to get him to lunge at the tongs?

He's not lunging!!! The tongs happen to be there because I'd just fed him. That pic is of him yawning/readjusting his jaws right after feeding ;)

Yeah, I always seem to miss it by a millisecond the times I've tried... they do it so fast!
On that note, Pika has never lunged or tried to bite me or anything else, ever :cool:

The last picture is epic.

I just showed these to hubby. He agrees that this is the prettiest albino ball he's ever seen.

I would assume its increased blood flow to the area to aid in digestion/etc

So cute :P
