1. Do not feed live prey, as the snake will not be able to see well enough to protect itself. Do not allow for situations where the snakes visual imparements will be an issue
2. Use CHE's and ambient room lighting. Avoid bright lights, and Avoid the sunlight (for skin concerns) since snakes do not need the sunlight anyway.
3. Well honestly, this isn't an issue with captive animals anyway.
As far as any claims about one-eyed albino's, etc. That boils down to unfit breeding practices. And has a place for mention in another thread.
Ah, yes. I DO think, however, that those who really are ready to make the commitment... I see nothing wrong with that. What I dislike is seeing someone buy an albino for their first snake, and use a basic snake caresheet for the "proper" instructions, because they think it's just a white snake.
