My patty albino came from Mark Bell's farm.

Paul from garden state tells me he thinks that means it's tremper...

I was searching on leopardgeckowiki.com and fuond this pic of a RW PA
http://www.leopardgeckowiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Image:Patt_rw1.jpg

a picture of mine is attached

does the fact that it looks like that mean it's RW and def not tremper or can tremper PA's look like that as juvies also? Do all patty albinos get spotting like that?

The leopard gecko wiki description says they are generally smaller and lighter in color. The color of this one seems lighter than my BB which i suspect is tremper, but the blizzard in that may be darkening it a bit.

does anyone have RW and tremper eye pics so I can compare mine to them?

I honestly doubt that Mark works with rainwater patternless albinos, so that has to be a tremper.

You need an eye shot to confirm because trempers have a redish eye, while rainwaters don't

MACK SNOW rainwater patternless eye..not great. Notice it has no red . A few tremper patty eye could also look dark, but with indirect lighting you should see the red of the pupils

thanks paul!

that worries me a little because it seems like the eye on mine looks like that. I need to search for this elusive red color so it can be a tremper :)

okay so I just talked to the dealer who sold me my BB and my "albino leucistic" (as he calls it).

He says they all come from reptile industries, but he had no idea whether they would be tremper, rw, or bell. In fact, he said after 18 years in the reptile business, he really doesn't know about those three strains. He thought they were bell just because they came from Reptile Industries, but I suppose since he deals in reptiles of all sorts he hasn't learned much on the specifics of leos.
