Morph questions

So my recent experience breeding my geckos got me interested in their genetics. I was told my one female is a Diablo, but after doing some research, I'm not convinced. She has two-toned eyes. Eclipse right? And I'm just fuzzy about the difference between those and the other albino spotless morphs. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's the short version (for the long version, check out leopardgeckowiki.com and reptilecalculator.com and read as much as you can:
Diablo blanco is: blizzard, tremper albino, eclipse, patternless stripe
resulting in a white gecko with red eyes.
I guess a diablo blanco could also have snake eyes, which would account for the two toned look

If the gecko is an albino and appears to be born with a stripe pattern (as opposed to a banded pattern), it will be a diablo blanco if it's a blizzard as well. If it's not a blizzard (but does have a stripe pattern, is tramper albino and eclipse as well) it's a Raptor. Some people will call any eclipse albino a raptor regardless of its pattern, but I prefer to only call the patternless stripe ones "Raptor's".

If the gecko is not an eclipse, but is albino and a stripe (even if all the stripe markings have faded) it's an Aptor which is like a Raptor except without the eclipse gene

If the gecko was born banded and loses all its body spots, It's a superhypo.

I hope that's helpful.

Thanks that's a start. I suppose I'll have to wait and see what comes of her prodigy. So far it looks like 2 beautiful mack snows, just like their daddy.
