Albino?

It does look like it could be an albino. My guess is she's very young and was incubated for female? If so her eyes should lighten up a bit more as she grows and look more like the other albinos you see in a few weeks :)

Ok thanks. :) It hatched just over a week ago(incubated for mixed) and it's clutchmate looks to be an A.P.T.Or so with the possibility of tremper and patternless stripe in play it's making it hard to tell what they are. Would a recent body shot help as well or is it a case of just letting them grow on a bit? We intend to keep for a while if not indefinitely so there's no rush but would be nice to know.

A body shot might help. Albinos will have lighter purplish bands while non-albinos will have blackish bands. if she's patternless stripe it may be hard to tell but my eclipses have hatched out a dark greenish color when they were not albino. I'm 98% sure your gal is albino.

Looks albino to me, too. If it was non-albino, I would have expected to see some black on the tail.
