I hatched this one on the 28th and not sure if it's a NOVA or a Tremper Enigma. It is from Enigma x Tremper both het for RAPTOR. It's sibling is a BEE and this one looks like it has 50% eclipse eyes but they are not red.

It's a tremper Enigma...a Nova is a RAPTOR Enigma which must have red eyes...RAPTOR stands for Red-eyed Albino Patternless Tremper ORange

What I am confused about is that it is albino and looks like eclipse eyes checked with a 30x loupe but they are dark like a non albino eclipse.
Can the eyes lighten up to a red color as it grows or do the eclipse looking eyes just go away. Both eyes are solid on the front half.
I tried to get a good picture but it was closing it's eyes from the lights so had to take a quick shot.

If it has any amount of snake eye showing then it is a Nova but from the pic you provided I would say that it is a tremper enigma and not a Nova. If you could get a better eye pic it would help, great looking gecko either way.:main_thumbsup:

most Tremper Enigmas hatch with solid eyes.
But after a few weeks eyes are turning into normal enigma eyes.
Even Novas can hatch with dark eyes when incubated to be female.
Wait a little and if the eyes turn into Snake eyes or stay solid you have a Nova:)
