i went to the pet store to pick up my weekly supply of cricekts and the owner asked why im still feeding cricket so much and i told him its because my bell albino wont eat anything but them and he mention she might be T possivite? he said that it means she doesnt recognize the other stuff as food that its a eye thing? Im clueless to this... Bel used to eat mealies and roachs just fine so i thought maybe he was filling me full of crap.

sounds like the owner is clueless to t positive and t negative too. t+ and T- are types of albinism. all three strains of albinos, bell, tremper and rainwater are t-positive forms of albinism. that has nothing to do with what they will or won't eat. the ownder sounds like an idiot.

Lol your not the first one to tell me that. He talks big i think, but doesnt know much about what he's saying, he's great with rodents and fish but i guess not so great with reptiles. Thanks for info^^ i didnt think my Bel Oni(bell albino) had any problems other then being a picky eater;D
