Actually, you should say lack of pigmentation. Yes?
Or full of it. As white is all the colors combined?
Either way, the point is that the genetics are "weaker" as the animal has less of a chance of thriving. Whether its because it stands out more, issues with UV absorption, thermoregulation, or what have you.
I do not believe that jackson in the link is actually albino, but merely has alot of red, and is maybe sick, about to shed, stressed colored, or a multitude of these things. They can get fairly pale, and show a decent amount of red at times. They can also show the greens/blues that the other animal is showing, making the supposed albino animal look even more pale and red.
I think if their is a true albino chameleon it would look like a squid. Squids are see threw/whitish but fires off all shorts of colors. I think it may look freaky. Lol
White is not albino. A clearish pink is. Lack of color.
That's just my opinion.
