Unfamiliar with Leo Genetics, Please help!!

[PatHigdon]

I posted pics of my new Leo's in "show off your leo's". The Bell Albino & Reverse Striped are expecting eggs. Not sure how this pair will work out. But here is the kicker, The Bell Albino has black eyes (SnakeEyes). Will this factor into the resulting offspring?? And what will the resulting offspring be?? Normals het for Bell Albino & Reverse Stripe or will they be Het for Albino Reverse Stripe??

Are you sure that you have a bell albino with snake eyes that would be a radar and they aren't just handing those out at the door looks more like a dooky tremper with snake eyes those are a lot more common. I would be surprized if it were a Bell. I believe you have a dorsal stripe not reverse stripe. could you post more pictures of your leo with snake eyes?

the results would be mix of the parents some stripe some normal banded all het for albino but the normal would probably take over the hyponis of the dorsal stripe and if you do get any striped hatchlings chances are they would end up having more spotting then the dorsal striped parent. still all het for albino what ever strain it may be which remains to be proven.

I will try to get some close-up head shots of the Albino. I have had several people say that he is a Bell Albino. I am still in question about the whole "Snake Eyes" thing myself. I hadn't heard of this until I looked at Paul Sage's leo morph page.

And nobody has mentioned the female being a Dorsal Stripe instead of a Reverse Stripe.:main_huh:

I am new to Leopard Gecko's, literally!! I have only had Leo's for about 4 1/2 days now. I got them on a trade for a Dumerils Boa. So I am trying to be open minded with everyones opinions, advise & info.

Thanks for everyones help.:main_thumbsup:

Is there a website that has photos of ALL the known Leopard Geckos morphs??

That is an awsome website. I did not realize there were so many Leo morphs out there. WOW!!!!!!

I did not get a head shot of the albino last night, but I promise you that both eyes are black. And after compairing him with photos of Rainwater & Tremper albinos, I am convinced that he is Bell.

BUT I am no leo expert. Thats why I have come to this forum for advice.

Well, I got the albino out to take pics this weekend (and he would not cooperate, only got 2 pics and both s**cked).

And after getting him in some good light (flourescent), his eyes aren't black after all. But they are not red either. They look like the eyes on my SHTCTB male. Kinda grayish. I guess the lights in my herp room are just dim enough that he always had his pupils wide open when I was looking at them.

It sounds like you might have a Het for bell if its eyes are not obvious red.

pics are much needed here. Back shot and the clearest eye shot you can get

There are pics of my 3 Leo's in the "Show off your Leos" area, as of right now (8:05 AM CST) they are on page 3. The thread title is "My First Ever Leo's".

There is an overhead shot and a somewhat side view of the Albino, I could not get a good head eye shot on him. He wouldn't sit still long enough to get one.

There is a decent head-on shot of the SHTCTB, his eyes and the Albino's eyes are the same.

Again, thanks everyone for your opinions. I am still confused on the Red/Reverse Stripe (whatever kind of stripe it is) though.
