Blazing Blizzard x Rainwater Albino?

[Inari Rose]

Has anyone done this pairing yet? If so how were the results?

I am planning to do it this coming season with my female rainwater albino and my male blazing blizzard.

Is the blazing blizzard of the rainwater strain? If not then don't breed them together.

Most blazing blizzards are tremper unless specified. Breeding to a rainwater would give you normal blizard s that would be het for both, which is a bad thing. Mixing the stains is very frowned upon. I've never herd of a rainwater blazing blizard but if you want to try to make one I would go about it like this. Buy a blizard
That is not het for any albino breed to rainwater and breed the Blizard offspring back to eachother.

TUG has blazing rains listed on their website.

@ehebert: I'm not certain about the Blazing Blizzard. I didn't ask much about his lineage when I bought him. Thank you! I checked out TUG and found the blazing rainwater. Page 8 I think he/she's on.

@stager: are there any health concerns in mixing the strains?

There is always health concerns when breeding any animals. But, no there is no increased health risk when mixing albinos. That said, I highly suggest not mixing albino strains. The way I understand it: If you breed two different albinos together, you make it hard to tell what the animal is. You "muddy" the gene pool. The hets start to get confusing and then you could pass on geckos with tricky or unknown genetics that could mess up someone's breeding project down the road. I am not saying do not do it, but I personally would not want to pass on an animal with a gene pool that is hard for me to understand or visually see.

In general imo if you didn't pay big money for the blazing blizard it is tremper. The other stains go for much more so any breeder would have represented it as such on order to get market value
If he didn't specify it is tremper.

It all depends on the genetics of the Blazing Blizzard. What a blazing blizzard is (in case you did not know) is one of the three albino strains with the blizzard gene.

If you have a Rainwater Blazing Blizzard and you mix that with a regular Rainwater albino you would most likely get Rainwater albinos that are Het (carried but not visible) for Blizzard.

I wouldn't breed them together if the Blazing Blizzard is not a rainwater. You will end up with all normals het for two different albino strains and blizzards.

I didn't pay much for him at all. Got a pretty good deal.

I see, So it's a courtesy thing as well as a visual thing. Maintaining the "purity" of the strains and keeping it all proper.

Thank you everyone for your help! I'll be pairing him with my non-albinos then

If the animal was just listed as blazing blizzard, it is almost always a tremper. Otherwise it would be listed as bell blazing or rainwater blizzard.

Since you should never mix albino strains, you are better off finding a matching gecko to breed (once you learn and understand all the morphs and genetics). Breeding shouldn't be done until you have a basic understanding though.
