I'm beginning to wonder if a SUPER RAPTOR even exists yet, at least the way it was intended to be and described by Tremper a few years ago. I'm talking about a solid white baby with solid red-eyes that STAYS that way as an adult. A gecko that looks like a pure white Diablo Blanco, but with snow genes.

I too have been working on the SUPER RAPTOR project for a few years (see previous posts) and have produced babies that are born white with solid red eyes that eventually have a super snow pattern appear on them, but still have the solid red eyes.

Let's say with those geckos I just described you get positive test results for the eclipse eyes, but are still getting that faint super snow pattern on your offspring. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call those Super Snow RAPTORs, but not a SUPER RAPTOR, as it was supposed to be? I'd say save the SUPER RAPTOR name for that elusive solid white adult that may or may not ever exist.

Not trying to start anything hostile here, just trying to hear some thoughts on this.

With everyone wanting a pure white gecko with red eyes, wouldn't a Super Snow Patternless albino also fit the description? How come you never hear about people going crazy over those? Just curious because the animal would definitely hold it's white, I would think..
