Pacman Frog

[Ra]

Albinism is rare, unless of course somebody went ahead and decided to selectively breed for albinism, which is the case here with the albino pacman frog and every other albino reptile or ambphibian on the market. Its not rare because its bred for.

"If it were to be a large amount of dark color pigments then why is there none present?" because they arent Melanistic, They are albinos or albinoid or however you want to call it. A Melanistic frog would be blue with dark colored spotting, whereas an alnino or "albinoid" frog has yellow with reddish spots. The black eyed mutants have ABSOLUTELY no pigment in their skin, but they arent albinos because they have pigment in their eyes.

edit; Ive found the confusion and we are both wrong. The often called albino is merely amelanistic, meaning it LACKS dark pigments. It is not truly an albino but thats what they are called. You had confused melanism with amelanism. Melanism is ALL dark pigment.

Final answer, "albino" Horned frogs are amelanistic. Grif was correct but had confused melanism with amelanism.
