blizzard or BB

[syntheticreality]

If my supposed blazing blizz doesn't seem to have albino eyes or snake eyes, does that mean its just a blizzard?

 

[Nigel4less]

Yup

Snake eyes or solid eyes doesn't make it a BB. IF it doesn't have albino eyes then it's not a BB.

Can you post some pics of the eyes?

 

[syntheticreality]

i can try, but they are dark like a nomals and not completely black

The Rain Water BB will have dark eyes (they are a deep dark red), some times people confuse these with being plain Blizzards. Regular Blizzards can have solid or snake eyes, this does not make them BB. The Blazing part of the name means it's albino.

that's what I thought... these came from Reptile Industries (supposedly) which means they should be tremper? the eye looks much like my non-albino tang, so my guess is it's just a blizzard that was sold to me as blazing

 

[syntheticreality]

well... I called the guy I got it from and he made a call directly to Reptile Industries and talked to the gentleman (I cant remember his name--someone tell me) in charge of the leo breeding at the Bell facility.

According to him it is absolutely 100% for sure a BB

wow he's pretty good to remember what one is outta the 1000's they produce each year :main_thumbsup: test breed will be your best bet

lol, he doesn't remember the ONE. My distributor purchased a large lot of them and he knows which group they came from and that group is all BB

[gerryl]

for whats its worth...

BB = Red eyes

Jason, if you can get us some nice clear pics of the eyes we will be able to tell for sure if it is a BB or not.

my camera sucks so that is hard, but ill try tonight or this weekend

 

[syntheticreality]

here is a picture from his website of BB's that came from the same breeding pool he always gets them from. Mine seems to have darker eyes, but I am told that could have been from incubation and/or cooling.

This one could also look lighter from the lighting, etc.

Does anyone know the name of the guy in charge of the gecko breeding at the bell facility? I can't remember the name, but I think it was an asian guy and I was told he'd be there at daytona

Here's a test. Take her in the sunlight. IF she closes her eyes like the sun is killing her, then she's a BB.

 

[syntheticreality]

i'll try that because her eyes look different than all of my trempers

 

[eyelids]

That IS a Blazing Blizzard... After seeing the pic there's no doubt about it...

 

[syntheticreality]

lol, like I said that's not a pic of HER but it's a pic of claimed BB's from the same place she came from and it's from reptile industries, so I am sure they are not out to screw anyone and sell a blizz as a BB

here's a pic of mine, but no eye shot yet.

 

[eyelids]

LOL... I missed that... Yours definitely looks like a BB to me...
