I was at the ***** this afternoon just looking, knowing i wouldn't and couldn't bring a leo home.. so it was just for fun. i was talking to the guy working and we were holding the little geckos, and i was holding a juvenile that appeared to be an albino patternless. i'm still new at all this and wasn't certain, so i asked the guy working there if he knew what morph it was. now, i know the workers at those kinds of pet stores don't always know what they are talking about. but he did say he had a few leos of his own at home, and seemed to know what he was doing, at least a little. anyway, he told me that he wasn't sure but believed that this leo was a chocolate albino. I've never heard of that.. is there such thing as a chocolate albino??
i came home and looked at pictures, and still believe that that little one was an albino patternless...
thanks :) still trying to figure all this stuff out

Did the little one look like this?

If so, it is an Albino Patty (depending of the color of the eyes of course). I also got the one I pictured at the chain you mentioned.

chocolate albino is a type of tremper albino, same genetics, just more of a brown pigmentation due to incubation temps if i'm not mistaken.

okay, thank you. yes, it looked like that albino patty.
i really loved that gecko. i was so tempted to buy it... it was the most chill gecko i've ever handled (not that i've handled a ton, but still.. haha) but i had enough self control not to, thank goodness since i'm traveling for the holidays and can't get another gecko now anyways.. haha

I just bought a baby leo that looks very much like the one in the picture, but her skin ismore opaque and she is darker and the spots are darker. Does anyone know of a web page that has comparison pictures of baby patterns and what that baby pattern becomes... I think he may be a chocolate albino, but I can't find any good pictures of babies.
