Abinos with no pink eyes?

[Icefire]

I got 2 young female tangerine albinos that I got from toronto
they are about 4-6 months old and the eye color is normal.
I clearly see they are albinos (Tremper look alike) pink/brown
patern with orange.

does the pink eyes appeare later?

I don't know for sure but I'm pretty sure that not all albinos have the red/pink eyes. It's a recessive trait, it's not always there. Although I could be totally wrong and some one will correct me if I am ;)

[UpscaleBoas]

your talking about the resesive trait called LEUCISTIC. I recommend looking at http://www.pkreptiles.com/ the gentics seciton is a good read

my tremper albino doesn't have pink eyes, just lighter eyes than my normals.

Albino leopards don't have to have pink or red eyes, they can even have "slightly dark" eyes similar to normal leos. The red or pink eye colour doesn't denote albinism in reptiles. It gets a bit tricky since they can have 3 colours - red, yellow and black (melanin). Albino leos are missing most of the melanin (they can make some, another tricky topic), leaving them free to produce the other two colours, the result being that their eyes aren't clear red. To be correct, they aren't even albinos, they're amelanistic. It's an incorrect name, just like the patternless leos who were originally called leucistic. Some day the proper label of amel/amelanistic will prevail, but until then, just remember albino leos don't need to have red eyes. Tangerine albinos tend to have redder eyes than the average Tremper, but it's not guaranteed. The reddest albino/amel eyes so far seem to be on Bell albinos, and even they have some variation.

You would have 'true' tang albinos, not patternless (formerly called leucistic). The patternless are plain yellow, no bands or spots anywhere, though some do have orange at the base of the tail, and some turn a purplish grey when cold or stressed.

well albinos are actually amelanistic, meaning no black pigment,so an albino with black in it's eyes must not be an amelanistic animal at all maybe just hypomelanistic (reduced black) i could be wrong.

Here's an example of Tremper albino eyes.

She's not a tangerine albino, just a normal banded albino, but her eyes are pretty typical for a Tremper. Close up, you can see the red veins, but from a distance she seems to have creamy pink eyes.

This next one is a Las Vegas/Rainwater albino. It's not the clearest picture of the eyes, but you can see there is some red, though again, not clear 'red eye' red.

Last but not least, a Las Vegas Patternless albino. This is just a baby, so his eyes aren't big enough to show clearly, maybe I'll try to get an updated picture.

Beautiful pics, the close ups of those eyes are great, love how you can see the veins.

Icefire, are you sure you took the right pic? It doesn't look like an albino :P ???

[sketchy4]

looks like an albino to me. may not have much of the albino colors but you can still see that it has some of the color.

[Icefire]

It's an albinos, it's not black, it's brown, look like a tremper to me :P

Good topic..
I have been very picky when It comes to my Albinos. Only selecting ones that have red/pink eyes and light..no brown body color. Here is a picture of one of my males eyes...
