I got this little fellow in a trade Saturday at the Hamburg expo. He is a 2011 caramel albino male, from Outback Reptiles. I'm quite excited to have such an unusual BP morph, as I'd sold off all my ball morphs a few years ago. Caramel, for those that arent' familiar, is a tyrosinase-+ albino. This means that while the animal is a true albino, with no black pigment and red pupils, it does display some darker pigments. Caramel BPs start life with russet, mahogany, dark purple, blush, tan and cream colors that fade out into a rich, buttery caramel and cream with purple undertones as they age. My little guy displays some pretty bright colors and lots of fire for a hatchling, so I'm hoping he turns out to be a great adult.
Alessia (alessia55) suggested a name for him that seems fitting: Cadbury. They make awesome candies, and the name sounds like a British butler, lol. "Sir Cadbury". :-P
Anyway, here are some pictures of the little fellow. He's already readily accepting f/t mice, so that makes my life a lot easier! It's really hard to capture his colors well with a photo, as he changes depending on the light source.
