Albino fire belly newt tadpole?

[kellsnotokay52]

I have one tadpole that is completely see through. He acts and eats just like the others. My other tadpoles are black. Is it possible to have an adult albino fire belly newt.

It is possible, but unlikely. FBN larvae tend to shift color between light and dark, and it's possible for one to look lighter than the others. Only time will tell, so keep us posted:happy:

Could you supply a picture?

I'd like to see a photo too, someone found a wild one that is pure orange as an adult!

Here are a couple of pictures of the lighter colored newt compared to the darker newts.

Thats normal coloring, not albino.
An albino animal would have red eyes and none to virtually no pigment in it's skin, appearing almost white or even pink

That´s very normal. Larvae can get significantly paler, and it has nothing to do with being albino.
