Hi! So I've tried to figure out what exactly Sammy is, but I just can't seem to put my finger on it. When I bought him, a pet store ordered his morph specially for me from a website called Reptiles by Mack. He was labeled as a Mack Snow Albino. This website is one of those sites that don't show every single gecko, they just have a "representative" gecko and you don't really know what you're getting, in a way.

I think Sammy looks more like a Tremper Albino, IMO. But I'm no expert when it comes to reptile morphs. Just looking at the pictures of the geckos on the Leopard Gecko Wiki page for Tremper Albinos, he looks slightly more like them than the Mack Snow Albinos do. Maybe he's Mack Snow Albino het. Tremper Albino?

Can anyone give me their thoughts? Thanks!

Looks to be a Mack Snow Tremper Albino.
John and Amy Mack are the owners of Reptiles by Mack. They are the ones that discovered/named the Mack Snow. They have a huge facility that specializes in producing animals for the pet trade.

Remember that Mack snows tend to yellow as they mature. That means that an older juvie or adult Mack snow won't necessarily look like one. If Mack reptiles says it's a Mack snow, it probably it.

Mack snow tremper albino. You can't see a het trait, it is carried by the gecko but not expressed.

Oh I see! That makes so much more sense now! Thinking back to seventh grade science, het. means heterozygous. I should've thought about that. ;)
