Albino X Albino (same strain) = non-albino. Does anyone have same experience?

[carlupetz]

last month i breed my female Blazing Blizzard het raptor to Tremper Het Diablo Blanco. my DB project. they were the only geckos in the bin.
yesterday i hatched a pair of eggs from this pairing, and it appears that i get both non albino. i thought tremper X tremper should give you 100% tremper?

this one appears to have black eclipse eyes
(sorry for crappy cam pic)


Here's the pic of the normal

Does anyone have same experience?

I have noticed last year that when hatched at lower temps my trempers eyes were dark as hatchlings but as they aged you were able to tell they were red.

i hatched out a ss blazing blizard last year and i incubated it at low temps and it's eyes were VERY dark. what does the other hatchling look like?

sometimes the red eyes can look almost black when theyre young and in bad light, id just wait and see tbh.

As I think you're realizing from the feedback so far, there are 2 possibilities:

--they are actually albino and will lighten up (I've had a couple where I wasn't sure at first)

--somehow, they are not the same strain

Hope you figure it out soon.

thanks for the comment guys!

yup i have indeed incubated them for a very low temp. it was Christmas and temp drops really low during the season. hope it is indeed albino. the other one looks normal too, but maybe i need to wait till they grow a bit to confirm.

can you get a photo of the other one?

They're probably just really dark Trempers. We've hatched quite a few dark Trempers over the years and last season we had a couple that were so dark I was wondering if I had mixed up the eggs even though I knew it wasn't possible. After a couple of months they lightened up a lot.
