I just got my first tremper albino hatchling. Non of the parents have red eyes, but the hatchling have to entirely red eyes, is normal for tremper albino hatchlings?

I don't have a cam that is good enough, to take a picture of the eyes...

If im right all Tremper albino babies hatch out with bright red eyes. My first Tremper albino of the season had really bright ruby eyes but after her first shed the eyes now look like a standard albino eye.. Unless the parents are carrying the Eclipse gene, your little guy will most likely go the same way...

Male Trempers hatch out with very red eyes and even females incubated at fairly low temps can hatch with them too. They fade to normal albino pigmentation after a while. Ruby-eyed hatchlings don't really show the pupil or striations in the iris like regular albinos.
