Thanks for the kind words!
Albino (or leucistic) crocodilians don't survive very long in the wild. Because of the lack of pigment they can't hide from predators or sneak up on prey. You're correct, albino crocodilians must be kept in the shade to avoid being sunburned. The enclosure that this 8 footer is in only allows a small amount of filtered sunlight to enter.
