Bell Albino het Tremper, is it?!

[DrCarrotTail]

The third option is that the animal may not be het for either albino but homozygous for both or in other words a "Bubblegum albino" as I've heard them be called. I guess there's a fourth option as well - that the gecko is actually only a Tremper albino and not het for Bell. I don't think he's been bred to a Bell so we don't know for sure? He could just be a really dark Tremper.

Never heard of these "Bubblegum albino", can you SHORTLY explain what is it? Cause i have always though my albinos color were like bubblegum when they hatch..

It's a term that refers to an animal that is homozygous for both two or more strains of albino at the same time. This would mean, for example, they are a visual Bell and Tremper together. There would be no way to know if your gecko is or not without test breeding. If you breed to both a Bell and Tremper and get 100% albino offspring than this is most likely what you have. It is not a good thing to most breeders but a name that was given as a marketing technique to sell babies with less than desirable genetics.

Lisa is correct and it's not something you want to breed for.
