Would probably help if we got some eye pics (I think... I'm probably thinking of RAPTORs with the red eyes... ya... Ruby-eyed... oops, lol, but I'm not an expert on morphs), but I'm assuming these are pictures from the seller? Just so you know it's against TOS to use pictures that are not yours without permission...

Not trying to be rude or anything! Just wouldn't want you to get in trouble.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the first one looks like an APTOR at all. I'm seeing, correct me if I'm wrong, dark pigment, and a prominent characteristic of albinos is that they cannot synthesize and produce black pigment. The albino (tremper to be exact) is a major component of the APTOR morph, and with the dark pigment that particular gecko is exhibiting, I'm not too hopeful that it's an actual APTOR. Or that is the darkest albino I've ever seen...

I don't think gecko #2 is a Phantom either. Phantoms are a line of Snowglows developed from The Urban Gecko, bascially a TUG Snow Sunglow. I have personally not seen many Snowglows out there, so I cannot tell you much about the general appearance or if its variable in any way, but from what I have seen, Phantoms typically express more of a pastel-white-lavenderish coloration to them.
