Amelenistic with grey belly checkers?

I don't but I will take one as soon as I get my camera back from the boyfriends, I was telling someone about my amel and they seemed shocked when I spoke about the grey belly checks?

Is this not normal what amelenistic looking morphs do have grey checkers??

Oh ok thankyou! Mine looks exactly like an amel but I was just making sure after my friend told me that they don't have any grey/black pigment at all, including on the belly.

Also if you look close enough at mine there are slight organge 'freckles' on the gery belly checks.

Yes, the black pigment is washed from the animal. Whether that is a true great or just a dull orange is to be seen. Looks like a dull gray to me, but what do I know?

Amels do not have grey belly checks and their eyes are pink with red pupils. But a photo would be best. You MAY have an ultramel instead of an amel.

Ok, first of all sorry about the very bad picture quality, I only had my mobile phone to take the pics. I couldn't get a picture of the head that wasn't blurred, he was really uncooparative today but I can tell you that his eyes are red in the centre and pink around the outside as an amels are.

Here are the belly checks:

I have two other albinos. They have belly checkering. I think that the pigment in fussions checkering is so dull that it appears almost a gray. All my albinos (amels) have red eyes!!

Sorry, I don't have belly pictures!
 
That's normal. It isn't grey as in melanin pigmentation - it is just a clear patch that you can see the internal organs thriough a little bit better. It's like looking at a white sheet hung over a wall with a hole in it: the hole looks like a dark stain on the sheet but it really is not one.

Thanks, KJUN. All this ado about seeing guts through translucent/amelanistic scales.
