:::Sipping Hard Lemonade::: I prefer flavored beer... and clear definitions. I'm still confused on this whole albino or not question... If an albino has dark pigmentation what do you call it? Surely it wouldn't be a 'true' albino.... And what about "Chocolate Albinos"? Is this just another fancy term to cash in on 'purplely' albinos? :::sigh:::

Samba... albinism is the congenital (from birth) absence of any pigmentation or coloration. Soo the animal in question could still express certain colour pigments, and I believe even melanin in some cases, as long as one pigment is absent. "Amelanism", however, is the absence of any melanin, and coined terms like "axanthic" refer to the absence of another pigment (in that case, yellow).

At least, that is my understanding of the whole sh'bang!
