Genetically it's a Super Nova.. Does it look like a Super Nova? Has deep red eyes, under stress star gazes and circles. All white legs and white stomach. Tell me what ya think it looks like.. Looks like a SS albino to me...

Looks like it has all the correct traits to me, but hopefully some breeders more familiar with the lines will chime in too.

Super Snow Tremper Enigma or Super Nova. (I do not see much of the white nose typical from eclipse but it can happen it not to be visual on all geckos)

Here are the Mother and Father, Male Super Raptor and Female Dreamsicle. "The Male Super Raptor has very deep red eyes."

So obviously a super nova as both parents are homozigous for eclipse, no possibility for Super snow tremper enigma.

The male has dark red eyes, can Eclipse have black redish eyes?

Yes, Eclipse just means that the eyes are solid (versus normal gecko cat-eye with color and pupil). Since he's an albino, the eye will be red tinted. In a non-albino animal, the eyes are black.

I wasn't 100% on the eclipse gene thanks for clearing that.. He is a SS which all SS have black eyes. I was kinda scared he wasn't eclipse but idk what else he could be. He has thrown out a bunch of Super Raptors for the breeder i got him from.

Super nova is basically a Super Snow Tremper Eclipse Enigma. The star gazing and circling are a common sign of enigma. The red eyes are from the Eclipse trait. The high brown amount of spots on the body make it a visual Super Snow Tremper. So I would say it is definitely say it is a Super Nova

There's a difference btw "eclipse eyes" and "eclipse gene", one is just a phenotyp description, the other talk about a gene (also gene that involve a eye pigmentation) we actually today use "eclipse" word only to describe the eclipse gene and this term is almost never used talking about an "eye phenotyp" as it would make much more confusion that's already...
