It's some type of albino. It isn't possible to tell what kind. If you're planning on breeding, you should try to get geckos who's genetics are known.

Also worth noting if you are planning on breeding then you shouldn't cross albino lines so if you get another albino it needs to be a tremper or a non albino that isn't het for rainwater or bell.

You can't tell what strain without the breeder telling you. Temp fluctuations before and after hatching can make them vary in color tones.
And I agree you shouldn't breed them if they are unknown albino strains. The babies would look normal and be het for two unknown albino strains unless you get lucky and they are both of one strain. But even then not knowing the strain. They will be very hard to find homes for unless someone wants a pet only gecko.

Yea, I'm going to plan to not breed him. I guess I could breed him to my normal, but again, that's pretty much just breeding for pet only geckos. Which, while still fun... I don't know. I'm going to try to find a different male. This guy is pretty awesome though, as far as a pet. :)

You can usually get a fairly cheap pair of geckos with known genetics that you can breed for pets. That way if the babies end up in the hands of someone else who breeds them, you're not worrying about all kinds of messed up genetics getting out. Some people will keep them as pets until they die, but unfortunately many will not. I would make sure you know the genetics of anything you breed to be safe.
