Re: Question about Albino Ringneck....

Hi AmyJoy

Is it the pupil or the iris that is blue?

Some my lacewings have a very dark red almost black pupil with a blue iris. View my user avatar of Lacey, she is a green pallid(lacewing). Her pupil is dark with the blue iris. Just right click on it and select view image.

Thanks

Pallidino is a lighter form of pallid(lacewing), which means your baby has a good chance of being a male although you might find a lighter female too. Have you had him/her dna or surgically...
