Mack Super Snow Tremper Albino darker coloration

[Camaleonides]

Hi everybody, I have been around here for a while but I rarely post something, now here I am, better later than ever.

I have been breeding leopard geckos for a while and a few years ago I got a Mack Super Snow Tremper Albino that is darker than any other I have breed. I am posting a comparison picture for both a normal Mack Super Snow Tremper Albino and the darker one. Both are males and both were incubated at constant temperatures of 83.5 F.

Does any one have seen this? What could be the reason?

There does seem to be variation in the beige/brown coloring of albinos in general. Some people say that the darker ones are incubated at a lower temperature, but I've found the same variation even though I incubate them all at the same temp. Some people call the darker ones "chocolate albinos". I think it's just a normal color variation. Interestingly, I've produced 5 albino super snows and so far they remain completely white (they're relatively young; the one I sold that had hatched in May was just starting to get some beige on the head but the body was still white).
