Definately NOT an ember... those eyes are CLEARLY black. I do see the redness in the veining, but still. I have never seen a tremper with eyes THAT DARK... to me it looks like a nice murphy patternless. there's a breeder in canada selling "lemon leucistics (sp?)" (basically a really yellow MP) could possibly be one of them... The eyes are partially eclipsed, but i don't know too much about marble eyes so I cannot rule that out either...

cheers.

I have a female sunglow that has bulges like that, but she IS a she! no pores..

It appears to be an albino patternless. Rainwater albinos (aka Las Vegas) have darker, more silvery eyes than Trempers, and Bells have the pinkest. ANY nocturnal creature, especially albinos, will have their pupils wide open in bright light. It's the veins that you need to be aware of in this case. The bulges definitely appear male, but depending on the age of the gecko the pores might not be fully developed.

Okay one thing is for sure it is male..
put it in with a Ovulating female and he tried.. so thats figured out..

with bright light the pupil constricted as much as possible. and the iris or colored protoin will be almost completely visible...
which is the case in these photos.. the blackness of the eye is the irus.. it is not just the pupil..

from what i know..
there IS red veins.. so it HAS to be either albino or it is enigma.
He shows NO signs of the syndrome and i just dont think its enigma

So it must be albino and the black we are seeing is just such a deep red it appears black..
as for what albino strain i have no clue..
i think the only option is Ember.
The odds of it being a 50.00 Firewater Murphy patternless astronomical. ive ever even seen this.

the guy it was purchased from is well an idiot.. he claimed it came from JMG and is just a bell albino.. (The guy does nothing but flip geckos and buys from anyone.) and didnt even know what a raptor was.

Well based on the unknowns in this guy, I wouldn't even try to breed him and that overbite should seal the deal on him being a pet only. That's what I would do anyways.
