Can someone explain...

[Mclaughlin]

Can someone explain the true differences in the different albinos and how to tell the difference between the 3 of them? I get so confused on this matter...

If you go here Leopard Gecko Wiki it has all of the Leo Morphs and descriptions

Yeah I have read it a few times but really it only boils down to eye color per Thad's info... Was hoping for a little more detail

There was an episode of Gecko Land Radio last week where they had several Leo experts discuss the albino strains. What I took away from it was that in the beginning it was relatively easy to tell the difference between the three strains. Their eyes and colors were distinctly different. But line breeding for specific looks and crossing in other morphs have made it very difficult, if not impossible, to tell the albino strains apart consistently with any characteristics. Eye color may be the best way but it is far from a sure thing. This is why it is important to know the genetics of your animals and not breed animals meant for pet only home (like those from chain pet stores).

Here's a link to the episode if you want to listen in to what they had to say yourself:
