It is fairly common with the FL albinos, but as Ed said, some have paradox, others do not. I have no idea how this works as far how melanin is expressed with an albino specimen, someone much smarter then me may be able to explain how.Ed (and others) have done a great job making the FL albino more common in the US, however, they are still one of the more rare forms of albinism currently available. I really like them, they are beautiful snakes, as are the hets! And their voracious appetites along with some attitude, make them one of my favorites.
Fantastic to know about the paradox, just looking at the albinos eyes i can see some black pigmentation around the edges of their pupils and i was wondering what the heck that was all about lol.

Re: Albino Florida Blues!!
awsome little snakes, would be good to add an albino to my Florida group
Last time I spoke to Dr. Alan Francis he said he doesn't deal in albinos anymore because he finds the natural colours more appealing.

The first pic i tried to get a picture of it's eyes as it already seems to be producing some melanine. This one is eating like a pig on wormies and fish.T.radix(1.1Light Phase,1.0Anery,0.1Snow),T.s.similis 2.1,T.s.sitalis1.1(Florida blue het albinos),1.1 T. elegans terrestris,0.2 T.proximus proximus,1.1 T.m.marcianus and 0.1 T.s.parietalis
