Hiya guys/girls, for not long ago when I had to pick up my lesser het clown boy, my friend showed me what the differences was in a normal albino and a HC albino, now when I saw the clear high orange colors around the markings, I understood.
What I got from this is a HC albino always have those and seems alot cleaner then a normal albino, but am I wrong?.
I saw a breeder on Facebook selling "HC Albinos" I must say yes one of them was a 100% HC looking albino with the clear orange, but the others looked very normal to me with no orange.

This makes me kind of mad, if someone like me before I saw a HC albino beside a normal albino, didn't know then I would proberly give 50€ more for what would be a normal albino.

Or am I wrong and not every HC, have orange outer lines?.

He even had a site.

Not all have orange outlines.

Some are just really an intense yellow.

Thing is, high contrast isn't "traditionally" passed on like albinos are. There is no "het for high contrast".

It's a line bred trait and technically all albinos now are "high contrast" compared to the first ones brought in and bred.

I should further state that because it's line bred some have more orange and some are more yellow. I produced a really nice high contrast female with lots of bright yellow and blushing last season. She came from a 13 year old albino male to I believe a 11 or 12 year old female het albino. They can just pop out!
