Albinos...........
In my books High Contrast Albino is a fancy business oriented term, for "Really Nice Albino".

All Albinos (T-) are the same. The "high contrast" and "low contrast" Albinos are the same thing. It's like having hi-yellow and low-yellow Normals. Different looks, same genes. Most of the really striking Albino pics you see are of young Albinos, not adults. As with Normals, adult Albinos tend to lose their vibrant colors to some degree. It's selective breeding that brings out the best in the Albinos, not a separate gene.
That’s not to say some albinos aren't very bright and others are dull at any age. But I think some people make the mistake of confusing the “high contrast” albinos as a different line. But that's not the case.

I'm glad SOMEONE finally had the cojones to explain the high/low contrast albino thing. Though they're both great looking, it's luck o' the draw.

Do you just own ball pythons? Are you interested in kingsnakes? Subtle, eh?....

I don't particularly dig kingsnakes all that much. I do however take a look at em once and awhile. I have an earnest appreciation for all species of ssnakess though.

I agree with Tim on this one HC albinos fade out as they get older Glad to see that some people aren't just about Marketing! LOL!
On the other hand, Banded and certain reduced line albinos should have the killer HC look.

I think a lot of people also get confused with what high contrast is and what causes it. Yes some albinos are darker but they also bleed. Meaning their yellow eventually merges into the white with the lines between both being faded. A nice high contrast has clean crisp lines.
I also find that health plays a huge factore in the appearance of albinos. The better they feed, the brighter they seem.
Yes I agree that is is a crap shoot when it comes to producing them. You can certainly get a mixed bag. However when you start out with a high crisp contrast, you certainly improve your odds.
I have hatched out normal clutches and had a mixed bag ranging from light gold to almost black. The same can be said for albinos.
Sorry I didn't post any pics. I'm in between websites right now. My new one has turned into a bigger project than I originally thought, but it should be ready soon. Then I will be able to post some pics.
