Article in Gekko: Tyrosinase Activity in the Skin of Three Strains of Albino Gecko

[BluGnat]

I just received my new issue of Gekko yesterday (late because it was forwarded) and noticed this morning that there's an article about the difference (molecular level) between Tremper, Rainwater, and Bell. I'm assuming this is reliable info, but wanted to ask here before really committing to incorporating this reading into my memory (it's got so little room anymore...). TIA for any opinions.

It's long been thought. That should be good reading. Any chance you could scan it?

Absolutely. I'll figure that out and get it up at some point today.

That would be awesome!

I'm having issues with my gallery (where I was going to upload the scans to and post the links) - it's kind of MIA right now...if you PM me an email addy that you don't mind big files going to, I can email it to you. It's 4 scans at 72 dpi - but two are half of a sheet of paper-sized, and two are whole-sheet sized. I was trying to make it as small a file as possible, but still read-able...hopefully it is...

You can send them as big as you can to the address in my sig.

Yes!! (I wish my gallery was working so I could've post links to the scanned pages and saved everyone getting a huge email - sorry about that!) For those that aren't familiar with it, it's the Global Gecko Association. I know many of you are into other types of geckos as well, so it would be perfect - I just subscribed for the occasional Leo article. And the great pix. They have the best, full-color pix of so many different (non-leo) geckos.

To me the article seemed trustworthy, and was a very insightful read. However, im wondering when the tests were actually conducted, because in "The Herpetoculture of Leopard Geckos" RT states under a picture of an albino (If im recalling right) that all three strains of albino leopard gecko are T+. And in their article they state that they talked to RT personally. If the same info has been posted in both a scientific article and the most informative and up to date leo book out then I would consider it to be okay.
