Blazing Blizzard Confusion

Alright, I am really confused. What is considered a blazing blizzard?? Is it an albino blizzard, or just an extremely white gecko??
And what do snake eyes mean?

Sorry, these are probably dumb questions, but I'm so confused!!! There was a Leo at the pet store labelled as a "snow", but it didn't have the signature dark eyes. It was just a really white gecko with greenish eyes. Would this be considered a blazing blizzard?

Thanks in advance!! :)

My lizard is a mack snow and he has greyish eyes. IDK how well you can see it in this pic but it's the best I have of his eyes.

I can't really answer the blazing blizzard part but I believe what seperates a blizzard from a diablo blanco (which is also an all white leo) is the diablo has red eyes so I could presume that a blizzard had dark eyes, but I thought a blizzard had massive spotting. I believe Gothra has a blazing blizzard. See if you can pm her and ask.

<--- The gecko in my avatar is a blazing blizzard. They generally are white or have light to moderate yellow. Mine does have snake eyes, but his are pink since he is a tremper blazing blizzard.

diablo blancos do have red eyes (we have one of those too), but the neat thing about those is they were brought about by blazing blizzards.

Blazing Blizzard is a blizzard and one of the 3 albino strains expressed in the same animal. The albino eliminates all of the melanin( black and gray pigment) leaving a stark white lizard with regular albino eyes.

Blizzard can express snake eyes which are partial eclipse eyes( or solid black or red eyes) However the snake eyes expressed in blizzards is not a trait that can be controlled genetically or bred for. However if you cross an eclipse or eclipse albino( raptor, radar, typhoon) into the blizzard you can produce animals with genetic snake eyes or full eclipse eyes. So far this has only been done with the Tremper strain as far as I know and It is called a Diablo Blanco.

That explain it?

Thank you for all the replies. So what was I seeing at the pet store? It was an all white gecko with greenish eyes.. Was it just a really white blizzard?
So there's no way for a blazing blizzard to be non-albino?
