they are very pretty, but albinism is a defect, it should not be mass bred. especially in animals who need UVB.

Well i purchased a male albino for like 795.00 off Ron St.Pierre like 3 years ago and it was very healthy and ate well but at the same time it had poor eye sight.And when i would throw a unthawed mouse in the cage he would like miss it,also like i would feed him roaches and crickets and it would have a hard time catching them almost like he was blind.But i talk to someone at the hamburg reptile show and the guy told me his was the same way so i guess maybe there is defects about them.My argentine would have no problem catching any insects
or finding mice without any trouble.
