Homozygous for Amelanism and Lavender, two recessive mutations. Starting out as washed out looking red albinos, these quickly fade into what appears to be a purplish snow corn. As they mature, varying amounts of pale orange fills in the areas between the blotches.

His is still showing baby colors, but we took a vote on another thread and came up with opal hatchling!
