    Albino's

    I have my hands full with two radix scrubs yet I have always been curious about albino garters. Do they need any care that is different than a regular garter?

    Not sure if argue would be the word. Albinos are more light sensitive because that is a trait of albinism. My albinos are less active in normal lighting and are more active in a low to a no light environment.

    Thanks Steve, looks like I will stay away from them. I like watching them too much. By the way the 20 long worked great they scurry from hot side to cold side all day long. I also found something interesting. They do not like "white" hambuger meat "things" if you get white I mean.

    Yep, too bright under it. The black ones make them feel much more secure, it's only natural.
