Unfortunately, as they're seperate species, you're not going to get those two types of snails to crosbreed without major laboratory help!  (They *might* mate if you could convince them to, but it wouldn't be a fertile pairing.) To get an albino tiger, you have to wait until dark-skinned tigers throw up a randomly mutated albino gene pair. Or breed two pre-existing albino tigers. There's no shortcut, unfortunately. |

Well, to my knowledge, there's been something like ten or so albino tigers recorded in captivity. As such, there isn't really an established price for them An importer in Germany has managed to get his hands on a couple recently, so it's possible they will breed one day. A year ago I would've said your chances of ever acquiring one were zero - now they're just very slim |
