White reptiles explained! | Episode 119

About this episode

This episode discusses white reptiles, the differences between albino and leucistic animals, and emergency planning for reptile keepers.

In this episode, we’re talking all about white reptiles, including the differences between albino and leucistic animals and why those terms aren’t interchangeable. We also shift into a more serious but important conversation about having a fire escape plan when you keep reptiles. We share how we’ve thought through emergency planning with animals in mind, what’s realistic in a high-stress situation, and steps keepers can take to be more prepared.
