So i have heard a lot of guesses from people but im still not sure what these babies are..
http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?p=687461#post687461

They hatched looking like albinos, but they have normal eyes

Here is the 3rd hatchling from that female
http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=81945

Please do not think that i am doing some type of random uneducated breeding. I bought the female that layed these eggs, unlabeled, at a reptiles show. I wanted her for her tang genes. I had no clue that she was gravid and for sure didnt expect them to be fertile.

thank you

Lol yes, i know what probably happened. I did not even attempt to breed her so i wasnt expecting eggs at all.

Im just wondering the morph of the babies. They hatched looking albino, but they have normal eyes. Then i thought maybe they were just really light tangs but when their brother came out that messed up that theory.

Please D:

thanks

The light colored babies have very light eyes for normals. I think they are albino like everyone else said. Check the eyes again when they are 20 grams or so, they should have normalized by then.

The new baby is not albino. So my guess is that at least one of the parents was het albino rather then homozygous albino. Giving you some albino and some non albino offspring.

You might also have a double albino thing going on here as well. How reliable is the person that you bought this leo from that they didnt even tell you she might be gravid?
Did they say the mom was het tremper? Could you post a pic of the mom?

I know 100% that it was not a reliable breeder that i bought her from. Their entire stand looked like they just bought everything wholesale so they most likely didnt know genetics of anything.

I did not plan on breeding this female this season at all. Once again, i only bought her for her tang genes and nothing else (planned to eventually breed her to my tang male w/ no hets so there was no possibility of the albino strains mixing).

Here is Ashes, the female that laid the eggs
