Genetic Purity

The Albino Distinction

Golden Glow

Without melanin, the shell displays a vibrant golden-yellow hue. The skin is a delicate pinkish-white. This 'glow' makes them stand out instantly in any collection or enclosure.

Ruby Eyes

The hallmark of a T-Negative Albino. Their eyes are a striking ruby red. Despite this, their vision is functional, though they should be provided with ample shade from harsh direct sunlight.

Ultimate Rarity

Albino Sulcatas are the holy grail of tortoise morphs. Producing them requires specific double recessive pairing, making them scarce and highly valuable assets that hold their value over time.

Albino Care Guide

Lighting & Shade

  • Avoid Direct Harsh Sun Albinos lack protective melanin. Their eyes are sensitive. Provide plenty of plants and hides.
  • Gentle UVB Use lower output UVB bulbs (5.0 instead of 10.0) or place lights higher up to prevent eye strain.

Nutrition & Wellness

  • Standard Sulcata Diet High fiber (grass/hay) is crucial. Albinos grow slightly slower, so ensure calcium intake is consistent.
  • Hydration Daily soaks are essential. Albinos can dehydrate faster under heat lamps due to skin sensitivity.
