Morph help

[Reptilia<3]

Disclaimer: I am a newbie. But I have Crested Geckos, a Southern Painted Turtle, a Blue Gill Perch, a Corn Snake, Firebelly Toad, and now a Leopard Gecko. Although the critters in my care are healthy and thriving, I consider myself a newbie. I am still striving to learn and care for them properly. I am desperate to figure out morphs and what role they play in breeding, although I have no plans to breed. I feel like this is knowledge I should have in order to own them! Any and all advice is welcome! For instance, this new Leo is called: Tremper Albino 33% Het Eclipse. What does that mean?

Welcome to GF!

Firstly, a word of advice; sand is not a very suitable substrate for leopard geckos. They can ingest bits of sand over time and get an intestinal blockage. This can be deadly and kills many leopard geckos. It's better to use a solid substrate such as paper towels, reptile carpet, or tile.

Your gecko is a tremper albino (meaning it has no black pigment on its body, which is why it is brown and yellow). Since the gecko is displaying the trait phenotypically (meaning you can see the trait physically), you know that it is homozygous (or carries two alleles for being tremper albino). 33% het eclipse means that your gecko has a 33% chance of being heterozygous (meaning the gecko has only one allele for the trait, or is a "carrier". The trait is not displayed phenotypically, so you can't see it) for the eclipse trait (a recessive trait that causes pigmentation of the eyes).

This is a pretty good link to understanding this stuff better.
