1981 project???

[boywonder]

does anybody have any info at all on this 1981 project ron tremper talked about on his late night leos radio interview,
in the interview he says the suspected albino male that was found in a lab was bred to bells and rainwaters but no mention of tremper albino, (maybe he didn't have any spare tremper females lol)
did it turn out to be an earlier form of tremper strain albino???

I dont think bells and rainwaters existed in 1981.

this gecko that ron tremper talked about was a lab animal that a student at a university was studying, it had dark pigmented skin but had albino eyes, he contacted ron tremper about it and ron bought the animal from the lab/uni, the gecko was discovered some time in the 2007-2009 period, not sure exactly but it had been at the lab/university since 1981 making it 27 or so years old,

bells and rainwaters have been arround longer than you may think, in fact i have a 12 year old male who i discovered very recently is het bell albino, without the original breeder, who i know, being aware of it, as back then only tremper albino's were known over here in the uk, to the general reptile entusiast anyway,
