Albino? And what morph?

[tjens215]

I am looking to verify that I have an albino and what kind of morph it might be. Thanks for any help!

Albino, yes. Morph, without knowing the genetics or test breeding, you'll never know.

You could also call him/her an albino jungle because of the broken body and tail bands. But I agree, you can't know for sure which strain of albino s/he is just by looking.

If im intending to breed it, I would get a gecko from a reputable seller and know exactly what I'm getting to breed with. What type/morph would work best to help find out this ones genetics better and make quality offspring in addition?

I would strongly recommend not breeding this gecko. Without knowing the strain of albinism, you're very likely to end up producing animals with the genetics for two different strains of albinism, which is irresponsible breeding.

If you want to breed, it is much more responsible to get two geckos from reputable breeders so you know exactly what you have and what you will produce.

To answer your question, you would have to breed the gecko to 1 of the 3 albino strains. Then you would have a 1 in 3 chance that you guessed the right strain. If you guessed right, you will have albino babies. If you guessed wrong, you will have normal babies het for both strains (not good). You would also have to take into account that this gecko could have unknown hets. Another reason to not breed this gecko.

If we were to throw guesses out there, what would you guess this morph of albino to be?
Is it possibly also a Mack snow mix?

It's hard to tell without seeing it as a hatchling if it's a Mack snow. It could be a jungle. It could be a normal. Without knowing the genetics, it could be a lot of different things.
