I don't believe it's ethical to breed for any trait that IS a disease or otherwise comes with ANY health concerns.

I am not questioning this Julius because I truthfully have no idea, but is there any proof about this? Any articles you can point us to on albinos and how it affects growth...reptiles or any type of animal
