Samurai lime green albino

[ViperJr]

I did not think about them as snakes, I thought about them as animals and how albinoism works according to Wikipedia. I'm no expert what so ever, I just find this interesting. "Red eyed green pacman" would seem like a better name, since it appears to not be albino. But then again, I might have this all wrong, and if so, please enlighten me

There is no such thing (yet) as a TRUE albino pacman. If your so confused abt an "albino" pacman being light green then you should be just as confused abt the original "albino" pacman being yellow. These frogs are AMELANISTIC meaning lacking in BLACK pigmentation. The extreme dark colors are replaced w bright yellows. A TRUE albino anything is milky white to CLEAR pigment. And in the Herp /reptile world these morphs are called snow. Albino is what everyone calls any reptile and amphibian that is Amelanistic. Like an "albino Burmese python" is yellow and white w red eyes. This is not true albino. White milky clear w red eyes would be a true albino. Lucistic is not related to this and that isn't what I'm describing. Lucistic has actual white pigment and produces melanin ( dark pigments) IE why they have dark eyes. Sometimes normal sometimes gray to blue eyes. But these amelanistic pacmans have been named Albinos. Kind of like a pit bull that is gray is known as a BLUE. That's the nick name because it resembles this color. Mikes like green albino pacman is like tons of other morphs. It's a MORPH. A mutated gene that became homozygous (visible) its just a traditional "albino" pacman that has more actual green in its genes. That is a very cool frog Mike!
