I have put just the odd one or two. I don 't mind albino royals, and I LOVE albino BCC and BCI. the rest (no offence to you who have them) just look tacky. Specially burms as everyone seems to have one.

The few i've seen i like, more so when they are young.

I love young albino boa's but they just turn to a kinda all over yellow colour as they age and this puts my off slightly. Pity they dont seem to hold their colour and pattern through life.

I like the lack of black providing there's enough 'other stuff' going on.

i.e. I like corns, as removing the black leaves orange, yellow, white and a strong 'fussy' pattern
I do not particularly like Royals & Burms, simple patterns with high white colouration, I think they look washed out

Actually...I love them. Think the albino trait brings all the prettiest qualities of a species to the fore. Only down side being, albinos tend to be a bit more highly strung, although with generations of breeding this tendency is being phased out!They get my vote.

Yes, and no.

I like Albino, Lavender Albino and Caramel Albino Ball Pythons.

I like T+ Albino Blood Pythons, but I'm a little picky over the T- Albino Blood Pythons, they have to have lots of yellow, and a White Head and Tail for me!

Other species, I don't tend to pay much attention to!
