Albino lace monitor?

[Bax155]

Just remembered a story my brother in law told me about a while back, he swears that a place his family camped at whilst growing up was home to an albino lace monitor, or as he called it "a cream goanna with pink eyes", he knows nothing about herps and is terrified of my snake collection therefore I don't think he's telling me fishermens/herpers tales as there is no benefit in doing so, I believe it was a lacy as the location only has lace monitors in it and no I will not reveal the location as there are too many poachers and money hungry buggers on here all I will say is its in NSW. It was also a full grown adult so would definitely still be be alive and around as it was last seen only a few years ago.
Has anyone ever heard of this albino monitor or better still seen it?

I've seen them overseas (not Lacies of course) but they are extremely rare. I've never heard of an albino monitor in Australia.

No but his family also confirmed the story, if I had any doubt to his story I would not have posted this thread!

alright, i thought if you care enough to start this topic you wouldn't mind going there to get a pic, it might be the only albino lacy in aus.

If I had the time I certainly would try and find it to photograph, but as none of the APS "experts" have heard of one let alone seen one I'm not going to waste my time, albinos are not really my cup of tea either!

'Just remembered a story my brother in law tolled me about a while back' is what you said.

So how many PMs have you had from people wanting to know the location? If it exists there will be plenty of people itching to get their hands on it. I'd love to see a photo.
