Need help to identify?

[Rebecca]

Hi.. I am new to this forum. I have recently bought this gecko. She wasn't sure what it was except albino. Is there a certain type of albino that she is. I have searched the internet for pics that look like her and all I could find that was as light as she is was a Tremper Albino Snow. She is lighter than the pic looks. There is no yellow on her. The bands are a very light tan color. The rest of her is like off white to white. I was just wondering what kind she was since I can't find any pics like her. Thanks in advance for the help!!!!

Oops!! I didn't realize that this pic was blurry. If anyone needs it I can post another one! Thanks!

Yes i think a Mack Snow Albino is right ! But what strain ? Tremper i think !

definitely a tremper albino but i wouldn't go as far as to say a snow. she just might be a really light tremper. you can not say for sure if she is in fact a snow unless you know her lineage. so i would just consider her a tremper albino, unless you end up proving out her genetics by breeding her, to see is she in fact a snow

 

[Rebecca]

Thanks for the responses!! Hopefully she will be laying her eggs soon! Then I will know for sure! I got her for $20. Even thought I didn't know what she was I couldn't pass up that deal!!

I think it looks like a Rainwater/Las Vegas albino because it is light and has very little head pattern. If you could try to get another photo in natural light without a flash, and especially a close-up of the eyes, that would be great!

Hi again!!! I appreciate all the help. I am working on getting some pics. I put her in the sunlight and she started to turn a little yellow. So I guess that she isn't a snow. So she must be the las vegas abino. What makes this morph? Just curious!!

 

[mark97r1]

The las vegas albino, or rainwater as its sometimes called (same thing) is another strain of albinoism. Its not a combination of morphs. There are 3 strains las vegas/rainwater, bell and tremper. They are just albino geckos but each strain looks alittle different.
Either way, a really nice find.
when you say she will be laying her eggs soon. What did you pair her to?

[Rebecca]

She was paired with a tremper albino male. I am hoping that she will be laying soon. She looks like she is gravid but I am new at this and not totally sure. Either way she has to lay eggs right?? Whether or not they are fertile is a different story. I am so new at this!! I have read alot about them and breeding but it is nothing like actually doing it! I love this forum though... everyone is so helpful.

 

[mark97r1]

With a Tremper albino male you will find out what she is.

If she is a Tremper albino, all the offspring will be Tremper albino.

If she is a las vegas/rainwater albino, all the babies will be het for both Tremper albino and las vegas/rainwater albino but look like normal 'wildtype' geckos.

If she is a snow anything, half her babies will be snows.

Hope this all helps. let us know the outcome and ask if there is anything you are unsure about.
