Can you guess the albino strain?

[Mel&Keith]

We're not really sure which line of albino this guy is. We think Tremper but we could be wrong. All guesses are welcome!
We got this one and his sister (different clutch, same parents) just for a fun project. We just bought them as an "Albino" and a "Patternless" but the patternless is actually an albino patternless, right?

Here they are -

Albino at 20g

P(A?) at 12g

The patternless is PA. Tremper has my vote, but a close-up of the eyes would help (I know it's hard with albinos).

For some reason I want to say Rainwater. But I will be checking this thread later, so I can change my answer. lol J/K

 

[Mel&Keith]

Wow, I suppose I could of looked at the PA's eyes for my answer, lol. I feel pretty dumb now!

Here's a close up of the tangerine albino's eyes _

And an adult Tremper sunglow for comparison -

There-in lies your answer.

I'm with you Dan...LOL It could be a Tremper or Rainwater, hard for me to tell. Anybody got a close up of a Rainwater Albino

 

[Ian S.]

First glance told me rainwater!:main_thumbsup:

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

I say a Tremper and a PA.

 

[marula]

the color of the first one look like a rainwater albino..but the eye look more tremper...
i can't answer...i'm not sure.. ;-)

 

[Mel&Keith]

Gees, thanks guys, lol. What is the difference in the eyes of a Tremper vs. Rainwater? We've never had any Rainwaters so we're not sure what we're supposed to be comparing. We got a picture of the albino het Patternless father -

 

[wsmitty]

hmm....my first guess is L.V.

 

[steve75]

My vote goes to tremper. I'd post pics of my LVPA's eyes but they're both snake-eyes and my pic sucks.

Oh, what the hell:

 

[steve75]

She has a lot less bright red capillaries than my t. albino.

 

[Mel&Keith]

Ok, I spend an hour taking pictures in the dark but I think I finally got the pictures we needed. I saw where Felicia had said that the difference in the eyes is that Trempers' pupils glow red and Rainwaters' are black. So now I'm definitely leaning toward RW. What do you guys think?

First pic -Albino in question
Second pic - Tang. Tremper

 

[steve75]

I agree. My RW's pupils are BLACK and those look black in the close-up. If its a male I know one way you can find out for sure come breeding season.

 

[Jeanne]

Where did you get them from? That may help

 

[KelliH]

Rainwater

 

[IMacBevan]

My guess would be Rainwater. Particularly if they are siblings. In general the Patternless trait seems to work better with Rainwaters than Trempers (or so I am led to believe). I've also noticed that in my collection my Rainwaters tend to be a little more vividly colored and don't appear to be subject to temperature influences in their coloration as much as Trempers are. Could be in barking up the wrong tree on that though.

Here are a couple of pictures of some Patternless Rainwaters I hatched out this season

and a regular Rainwater albino

hope that helps

 

[BalloonzForU]

I agree RW!!!

 

[nwheat]

My first thought was RW. Thanks for posting a picture of the dad - I think he really looks like a RW.
