Abyssinian?

Checked on LeopardGecko.com and this Leo fit the bill perfectly. It classifies the Abyssinian as a paradox leo with red lines in its eyes and can have any color EXCEPT black. Took some pics to see what y'all think.

if it ISN'T an Abyssinian, could anyone give me their best guess at what he could be.

He was bred with an Eclipse last year and produced some pretty awesome babies.

Looks like an eclipse to me. The eyes are saying albino as well as the lack of black.

Thanks for the reply! After reading a discussion about Eclipse vs Abyssinian in the archives I decided just to refer to him as an Eclipse. That is one thing I'm certain about. As far as the Albino I'm not too sure. He's been bred with an Albino and made Eclipse babies. Their patterns are fading into brown but they couldnt pass for an albino.

Maybe he's just a really washed out Eclipse?

After looking a second time, I would say your correct. He does just look like a nice eclipse. Was he bred to a Tremper het eclipse or a Raptor?

We bred him with a regular Tremper Albino and a Regular Eclipse and produced Trempers het Eclipse and Eclipse het Trempers (I'm assuming?)

Do you have any pictures of the adults and offspring from those parings? One of your eclipses must be pure to get no Raptors. That or you just didn't get lucky. How many eggs from the Eclipse X Eclipse?

Cant find a picture of the Albino female but she looks like a plain old Tremper Albino. Here are pics of the rest (sorry for the crapastic photography this is from my old camera, batteries are out in my new one :-/ The offspring are just the holdbacks from last season.
