thanks, ya its solid black

If it has solid "black" eyes then it's not a BB (Blazing Blizzard). It is just a Blizzard with solid black eyes or Eclipse eyes (if you can prove it genetically). To be a BB it has to be albino as well as a Blizzard. This would cause the eyes to be red or a dark red.

well can they be like 3/4 black? because you can kinda see that she has like kinda cat eyes if you look on the VERY edge of her eye but not much

You are missing the point, I think. IF they are black she is not a BB. As for the eyes being solid or not: If they are not solid black then they are called "snake eyes" not cat eyes.

thanks guys,
Stitch, If they are completely black she is not a BB right?
well when i look really close to her eyes i can see on the sides of her eye that it is not a solid black, it is lik the side of the eye of a leo with snake eyes. But when you look in the middle, they become black. The person i got these from said it was a BB but didnt know, like what strain.

Your gecko is not an albino, so it is not a Blazing Blizzard. It is just a Blizzard. Blazing Blizzards have red/pinkish eyes due to the albino gene. It doesn't matter if they are solid, snake eye or normal. If the pupil is black it's a Blizzard, if it is red then it's a Blazing Blizzard.

Take a look at this link: Blizzard with a snake eye.

This is a Blizzard with a snake eye. Now if this eye was red instead of black, then it would be a Blazing Blizzard.


P.S. BTW that is a nice Blizzard you have. I have a BB with a very small amount of snake eye. I'll try to post a pic if I can find one.

There are tons of people that have BB and don't have red eyes so inless everybody is wrong about there own leos.. BB do not need red eyes to be a BB. I don't know what the genes of a Diablo blanco is but a BB with red eyes would look like a diablo blanco. look at this

i would like to see a picture of your BB.. sorry that i still don't understand. are you saying to be a BB it has to have red eyes?

A Diablo Blanco is a cross of a BB and RAPTOR both of which are albinos so yes they would have red solid or snake eyes. The eyes would be solid or snake eyed due to the Eclipse gene.

As for the BB that don't have red eyes. The pupil may look black but it is actually a deep red. Look at the veining of the eye it will be red or pinkish. Some photos show it better then others. I have seen BB that in one pic the eyes look black but in the next picture they look red/pink. As you can probably tell by now not every is a good photographer. Each BB eye coloration will be different. The Tremper albino gene is temperature sensitive. Trempers incubated at steady female temps tend to have darker coloration which may make the eyes look black but are really a dark red. Trempers incubated at steady male temps will have brighter colors with eyes more red or pink.

In this picture (not mine BTW) you can see the pink veining of the eyes, but the pupil looks black.

Hi by the look of your leo's skin tone i'd say it's a albino blizzard-(blazzing blizzard) but skin tone is't a 100% way to ID as there are pale blizzard out there.So to be 100% on it useing natural sunlight try to see her pupils you'll most likely find thought at first glance they appear black but in the right light you'll find there infact deep ruby red.So in that case me personally would class her as albino false eclipse blizzard-(false eclipse blazzing blizzard).

Albino eclipse blizzard-eclipse blazing blizzard-Diablo blanco.(TREMPER).

False eclipse blizzard.Eclipse trait that use in RAPTOR's,DB's,Ember's with out the albino gene will look just the same as false eclipse.
