Not sure if it is a true albino or not, could just be a very light phase.

It is a possibility that that female is a albino, but accesive high heat stress can blanch/bleach a chameleons color so they look similar to a albino. albinos are also ver sencitive to the sun and i doubt that a cham could servive very long after being born a albino, of course thats just what i think...

lol, how would you know if it was an albino? Maybe it is an albino but he chooses to chagne his colour to green all the time. I don't think an albino chameleon would make sense... my 2 cents

I thought albinism meant lacking pigments. How can you change colour if you have no colour?
