Out of our Super Snow Albino X Super Snow Albino (Bell Strain) all eyes look red.
That is very interesting, any pics of these?

if an albino's eyes look 'black' then the easiest way of telling whether or not it's a true black or a very dark red is to take a pic and then put it through photoshop to 'lighten' it

I've used a Talbino and Ralbino for the example.Just to show the typical eye color tone.

Typical Balbino super snow eyes.

Here is a picture of the TUG Snow Albino x Mack Super Snow Albino hatchling. As I said I cannot see red, but they may be very dark.

I am sure someone will play with it in photoshop and let use all know.

Still very black...

I even ran a RGB filter across it with increased red and... they still came out jet black. Pretty safe to say that they are indeed... Black.

Same discussion happening on another thread...

my doncaster buys. my first show!

Basically, we own what appears to be a jet-black eyed Tremper SSA... and I also have what I believe is the UK's first Supersnow Rainwater Patternless... which again, has eyes absolutely as black as can be...

Tremper SSA...



Supersnow Rainwater Patternless....

Well, seems we have alot more to learn then, as not all SS talbinos have black eyes (unsure on the RW though)

Indeed

I don't know of any red/ruby-tinted RW supersnows but, that could be because they are the least common/popular strain of albino supersnow cross and so are rather hard to find. Took me ages to find "Avalanche", my SSRWP. The theory about them all supposedly having to have red tint in the eyes sounds very plausable... and it could be the case - just that the red tint in certain examples is so tiny that no matter how much you try to emphasis it in photos, you still cant see it. Or, it could be that they truely are jet black - where somehow in certain SS crosses, the SS eye trait manages to mask out the red albino eye effect entirely. Or it could be something else entirely
