New Albino Strain?

[fuzzylogix]

Just wanted to get your thoughts on if you think there is another albino strain out there waiting to be discovered. And if so, how long before you think it will be unlocked?

 

[Wowoklol]

Blue eyed leucistic please!! We have enough amel!

 

[LeopardShade]

There's always something to be discovered...

Blue eyed Leucistics would be awesome!

Hopefully if and when another albino pops out it will be a T negative.

Hopefully if and when another albino pops out it will be a T negative.

What do you mean by this, for non-biologists?

I hope there isn't another albino strain; it's difficult enough with the three existing ones if some people are not careful keeping them apart when breeding. But who knows.... rickmoss95 made everyone very curious now :main_lipsrsealed:

While a T- albino would be cool I think that a pied or axanthic would be the hottest new morph that could come out. With the an axanthic we could have true snows!!!

Yeah Ryan and they'll wind up looking like the Ball version... Not much to look at... A pied on the other hand would be sweet!

The T+ (Tyrosinase Positive) Albinos produces some tyrosinase that can't gain access to the melanophores. The T- Albinos (Tyrosinase Negative) produces no tyrosinase at all. I'm pretty sure this means that T+ Albinos can produce colored markings, while the T- Albinos have no markings and are non-colored. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

All three leopard gecko strains of Albino are T+ meaning that they can produce some coloring.

Who knows what they would look like. If you look at the snows in the corn snake world they look nothing like ball python snows.

close taquiq. t negative animals do not produce ANY tyrosinase, while t positive animals do. the tyrosinase is a chemical that allows some melanins to show through and look lavender(ish) or brown(ish). the t negative Do produce markings and colors, but NO MELANINS(black, grey, brown). they also have red or pink iruses so the eyes have a "real albino" look to them, unlike albino leopard geckos do(do to the tyrosinase) a t minus animal is ONLY different from a t positive animal in the fact that it HAS tyrosinase...that is the only difference (and it shows as a visually different colored animal)

T+ animal shows melanins in a brownish to lavenderish color(the brownish color comes from a very light layer of melanin on top of red)

T- animals show NO melanin at all and are yellow, orange, white, pink, and red. the tyrosinase has nothing to do with pattern, other than the color of the pattern

Hopefully if and when another albino pops out it will be a T negative.

Ditto that!
