I hate poisoning rodents so much.

It's a bit weird to me they call it incomplete albinism which appears to be the same thing as leucism? Which to me is much more clear, because incomplete albinism sounds like the animal has one out of the two genes for albinism (heterozygus). Which isn't what leucism is, it's a different mutation all together.
