Thank you!

It would really depend on a few things. Tremper albinos hold the red in the eyes longer than Rainwater albinos, so a Rainwater Blazing Blizzards eyes would not be red as sub-adult to adult. The reddest is believed to be a Bell Blazing Blizzard (which only one has ever been produced and sadly didn't live), because the Bells do indeed have the reddest eyes and hold the color as an adult.

Now these two little guys are very very young, only weighing in as of this morning at 2.6 & 3 grams, their eyes can change still, where the iris can be seen separate from the pupil. If they are indeed blazing blizzards, it could take even more time for the eyes to change in this way, as I have had blizzards with solid eyes that took months to show any speck of normal pattern to their iris.

If the one you are seeing at the shop is the same size as these two and has black eyes, I doubt that it's a blazing blizzard, most likely just a blizzard. I hope this helps.

Wooo Hooo

One of them pooped!!! and its not that green stuff, it's food poop and urates, and nice and solid!!! Yippy!!!! The smaller one is about to shed.

As you guys already know I was not too please about these two being in a pet store due to whatever morph they are, but I was more upset about their size than anything. They were slightly deyhdrated and went nuts for the water in the tub, when I got them set up.

The store didn't even have a humid hide for them and promptly put one in at my request. There had been a small albino swimming in the water bowl with just his nose out of the water. They placed him in the humid hide and you could see he was trying to shed. Poor little guys.

I got mine last night. Looks exactly like felicia's, in fact the one pic I took looks identical to the first pic she posted. Mine weighs 2.9g. The other one that we had at the store had one solid red eye and one that looked rather normal. Someone bought it before I could snap any pics.
Whatever they are; I'm in love!

If one had one solid red eye and one normal, then it is a blazing blizzard.

Mine has two solid red eyes.
The one we sold had one red eye and one pretty much normal eye-it was also about twice the size of the one I have(6.6g vs 2.9).

Im guessing it was also unpatterned?

Gosh, those little babies are too young/small at less than 3 grams to be sold like that...
I totally agree. It sucks that a breeder could care so little about his/her babies to sell them to a store where most people who buy them are first time owners. But, Marcia, you'll be happy to know that your slurry has saved so many little ones!

The smallest one shed, and there is a little bit of change. There is a slight hue of yellow wich I was not able to pick up on camera as much as I can see in person, the hind leg knee caps are real white as well as the tail. The larger one is about to shed too, so I'll see how much that one changes once it's done, and take pics of that if there is change too.

WoW!!
Look at that.
First thing I noticed when I saw the pics was the yellow hue. Hmmm can I change my guess to BB? :D
This game is fun.:)

LOL Ian! Funny you should say that. Kelli told me that the SS Bells had a yellow hue on their sides. I'm still lost as to what they are. *Shakes Head* Oh I agree, fun but nerve racking at the same time.

Ok, so get this: I work at Petsmart, and we get our reptile shipment in today. I open the box with one of my coworkers, and we got 4 leopards. First cup contains 1 normal and 1 abherent (spellcheck) normal. 2nd cup contains a normal and what looks to me like a mack snow! I've only seen pictures of the macks, so I'm not 100% positive, but it looks like the pictures of babies that are on this site.

I'm going to get some pictures when I go into work on Monday. I'm hoping I'm not completely wrong and it's just a very light normal.
