Here is a pic of Scooby (normal) and Chance.

We are SOOOO enjoying these guys. Who would've thought little geckos could be so cool!

Chance was labeled as a Blazing Blizzard at the pet store. But I don't think that's what he is since his eyes are completly black - does that make him a Blizzard?

well the whites are blown in that image, but it looks very white for a non albino blizzard. Blazing blizzards have DARK red eyes usually in tremper lines and dark eyes in rainwater lines.

Well the blazing blizzard is what you get if you cross an albino with a blizzard, if memory serves me correctly, so it should have red eyes but i don't think it HAS to have them....

Either way, nice pair!

Sorry for the poor images, I am having a heck of a time getting good pics of these guys up close with the cameras I have. Chance is basically pure bright white though. The pet store had another gecko labeled as blazing blizzard too, but it was more of a white/cream color with lighter eyes. I couldn't NOT get Chance once I saw him with as bright white as he is. And I cannot see a pupil in his eyes, they appear totally solid black - very strange.

Some can have solid black eyes, others will have half solid, those are called snake eyes. I have seen some that have a partial snake eye. And im with you, if i had seen him i dont think i could have passed him up!

Look at Chances eyes at an angle when you are in decent lighting...You should be able to tell they are dark red. If they aren't then he's a blizzard. They are cute!

I can tell you that I have a Tremper Blazing pair and both of them have black eyes, not red. We'd need a couple better pictures to be able to tell what that one is, and even then there's no guarantee. One picture should be of the body, and the other a relatively close shot of it's head.
