Leucistic?

I frequent a very large reptile dealer in my area and found what was labeled as "Albino Leucistic" tonight. They had no pattern, only a slight hint of yellow (no grey or green at all) and startling bright yellow eyes. The tales were a pale pinkish color. I did not get a chance to take a photo. These were rather large females very close to breeding age and weight. I am digging through links that have been provided to me previously and genetic websites trying to find more information but can someone please help me out here? What are these?

They were most likely Patternless Albinos. The "old school"/original name for the Patternless was "Leucistic".

I understand that but don't patternless albinos take the eye color after whatever albino morph they were produced from?

I am understanding slowly that there is a huge debate over a true leucistic gecko but the blazing blizzard is considered one. I am trying to find out the origins of these females from the store today as they usually order from Mack or Tremper only. Can anyone tell me some tell tale signs on a blazzing blizzard compared to a normal patternless?

I have just gotten off of the phone with the store. They are from John and Amy Mack. If anyone can please help me in regards to what this may be, please do not hesitate to post your comments.

That is what kelli stated

John and Amy Mack are "distributors " of geckos throughout the U.S. If you look closely the eye has some red veins which mean its an albino.

The yellow eyes are throwing me off as well. I went and had a closer look and examined the females and saw no red veins in the eyes. They are just a weird bright yellow color with darker pupils.

Yes they do. My husband and I sat and studied the page with the information for them and compared them to the females we found. The store will not give me a "for sure" answer on where they came from. I have not purchased any as I am trying to figure out just what the heck they are. I took me cam in and was asked to not take photos so I walked out very grumpy. I am very good friends with the manager so I will be making a repeat visit while he is there and get some good shots so hopefully someone can help me figure this out. I do not believe that they will sell any time soon with the price tag they carry. Not one has sold in two weeks.
