Often imitated but never duplicated.


Faded Albino

Mouse over images to enlarge.
The Faded Albino trait doesn't allow the body to produce melanin resulting in a washed out yellow and white appearance. This gene is believed to be a simple recessive trait. There have only been a handful of Faded Albions produced. In the 2009 season another breeder was able to produce several from the same sire. Further strengthening the arguement that it is not a random occurence. At hatching, they look like Snows and the hets can resemble Axanthics. It is not until after they shed that the hets will turn more normal in color and the yellow will fade in on the Snow looking siblings.
