Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Albinism is a lack of pigment, not that there's a large amount of pale-coloured pigment. But the dragons don't know that, so it's not important.
Since white (and silver) are terrible for camouflage in the forest, generally any albino in the wild has a much lower life expectancy. So even if he got adopted, when he's left to hunt on his own (which would invariably happen), he'd die pretty fast. Also if adoption ever happened your dragon would have to be still a dracling.
Besides, colour isn't the only visible difference between dragons, so the Undergolds won't be fooled.
More importantly, the plants in this forest are particularly dangerous for non-Undergold (by birth) dragons, so he wouldn't survive very long anyway. It's the same for the other terrains - if you're not native to the area, you'll find it much more dangerous.
Also @Darksong, dragons reach sexual maturity at 7-9, so 19 isn't that young. Prime mating age!

I'm not. It's simply that there's no way a clan would logically accept a dragon from another clan as one of its members. There's no point. The outsider's got a much higher chance of dying and will probably only be a burden, plus it only creates inferior offspring if that dragon managed to mate with one from the clan.

@iphillip1: Whether or not he wishes to mate is irrelevant. It's simply that an outsider could do so. The same applies to being a burden on the clan - there's like a 95% chance that you'll just be a burden. The refusal to accept outsiders means all outsiders, and would be roughly the same argument from all clans.
For day-to-day survival, you'd need to be a hunter before you're a warrior. Your character, even if he was the best hunter in the world, would not have learned how to hunt in this particular habitat, and is not suited for this habitat. It's only worse considering that the plants act semi-sentient and will kill you if you, say, touch a particular vine and you're not biologically an Undergold.
Not only that, but the Undergolds are naturally going to kill you on sight since the Nightstalkers and Undergolds are enemies.
@Darksong: Yes.

Well, I did want him to be accepted, but around those last 1 or 2 posts I figured out that wouldn't happen. And now you're just being mean to me. And it seems like your assuming. And you know what happens when you assume. Or do I have to repeat it. Anywho, I reserve a Nightstalker position, if I'm still welcome here.
