Ok so I've been looking at white geckos, the blizzard family to be specific. Now Im looking at the blizzard, blazing blizzard and the super mack snow blizzard. NOW supposedly the blazing has red eyes but every breeder that I look at (from top of forum and kingsnake) the eyes are black as night.
I get that the super snow blizzard is more of a steel purple color but what is the difference between it and the blizzard and the blazing blizzard??

they do have red eyes sorta (blazing) but some are solid and from what i have seen very similar to other albino eyes.

The blizzard gene is something i think is very special. Only due to you can have a blizzard with black eyes with no elcipse genes present. So i think that may partially play a part in the darker nature of the eyes.

As far as the yellow it's different from animal to animal. There are some people specifically Marcia of Golden Gate Geckos that breeds for the whitest blizzards she possibly can. They are really nice i would suggest getting in touch with her she is a wealth of knowledge and is always happy to talk geckos.

The eyes aren't really red, more of a pinkish or light grey with red veins. Some blizzards have solid eyes, or snake eyes which could make them redder. I think what you might want to look into is a Snow Diablo Blanco. That should be very white with truly red eyes.

Idk they dont seem red to me at all. Now an albino BP has red eyes. I think I'm just gonna stick with the super snow blizzard. Not to much of a fan of the yellow on the back of the blizzards. Do they grow out of the yellow back or what?

all three forms of albinism in leopard gecko are T+ albinos. because of this the eyes can be redish pink, to silverish etc. so that is why some eyes do not look like T- albinism animals. since tyronaise is present that is why some eyes look more normal than others.

a diablo blanco is doing to give you an animal that has a redder eye because of the eclipse gene in it.also blazing blizzards will give you nice whiter animals as well.

My blazing blizard has red eyes but its so dark that you can't catch it on camera. They look black in the pictures. Just an example of him. You can see that the part that isn't solid is like a albino's eye yet the rest looks black. In real life they are a very dark red.
