Is it possible to have 2 albino dragons at the same time?

Question

This question is quite simple, but difficult to prove. We know there are 5 Albino Dragon spawn locations, but... If I find an Albino Dragon in one of the locations, can I assume that the others won't have one? Or is it possible that there are 2 Albino Dragons alive at the same time?

Initially there was 1 albino dragon in the Zao location and another one spawned while the first one was still alive. Based on this video, yes 2 albino dragons can be alive at the same time AND in the same location.

Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I'm really asking, I'll explain more in depth.

Albino Dragons have a different spawn mechanic, after the server boot (which occurs a few minutes after the server save, for example: Server comes back online at minute 7, and the boot at minute 3) the first 10 minutes are counted and after that a timer that always restarts after 30 minutes starts counting until the next server save. An albino dragon disappears and may appear at this time, and for 30 minutes it may be alive in one of the 5 locations.

In the video it was clearly at the exact moment that the 30-minute timer ran out and another one started. The previous albino dragon disappeared and the new one appeared. What happened there was that there were 2 great coincidences: it is rare for 2 rounds in a row to occur with an albino appearing (since the chance of spawn is not high) and precisely in the same place, for scripting reasons there was a short interval in which the 2 were there at the same time.

If the 30-minute timer is restarting (minute 13 or 43) there is a chance that the albino dragon will spawn. My question is: If I find one in Ankrahmun's D-Lair, for example, is it worth continuing to check the other 4 spots? In other words, could I end up finding 2 albino dragons in the same round (within the 30-minute timer)?

Regardless, the mechanic is such that the answer to your original question is: yes, it is possible to have 2 albino dragons at one time.

The intention behind this question is to determine whether it is worth checking more than 1 location if you've already located an albino dragon.

As you can see from the evidence provided above, it is entirely possible. The unlikely chance of this occurring is not to be ignored, anomalies in Tibia often occur. There have been many such cases documented where bosses or rare spawns have occurred outside of their expected behaviour - are you going to skip the other 4 checks under the assumption that these won't occur for you?

One cannot say for certain that it is impossible to ever see 2 albino dragons within the same 30 minute timer, that would be a fools assumption.
