This is a response to Jeff Schofield's query, below, that I was unable to enter a response for beneath it.
I've noticed a tendency with the rossalleni, to use the terms "hypo" and "albino" interchangeably. Fact is, they're two different things: an "albino" (which should correctly be refered to as "amelanistic"), is an animal that completely lacks black colouration, and is incapable of producing it. A "hypo" is an animal that can produce black, but that exhibits very little of it due to greatly reduced areas of black within the pattern.
The amelanistic animal will always be red-eyed or pink-eyed. The hypomelanistic animal will usually have much darker eyes (possibly even as black as a normal animal's eyes). The eventual adult skin colour of the hypo rossaleni, will be a richer red than that of the amelanistic.
