What do you think about Albinos for first Gekcos?

[TomBrooklyn]

What do you think about Albinos? I want to get some geckos and someone offered me the Albinos below. They look nice to me. I've been researching Lizards and that's how I decided to get Leopard Geckos, but I don't know anything about Albinos in particular. I'd like to breed the geckos I get.

Albinos are fine for first geckos...but those aren't albinos. I would guess those are patternless.

My first gecko was an albino, and I had no problems. They require the same care as all leopard geckos.

Also, those seem to be blizzards/banana blizzards to me.

Those look pretty nice to me. They look a little different than a lot of stuff you see.

I'll go along with Shanti on this-they look like Patty's to me too

Whatever morph you choose-as long as you start out with nice healthy animals-their care should all be the same

Good Luck
Post pics when you get them

PS-I love all types of Albinos

Ah OK. I got mixed up with someone else who was selling geckos. This person did tell me they were patternless.

 

[ALGeckos]

Ahh true, I'll agree with the patternless because blizzards are true leustics and those have more coloration. Sorry about that!

They do have a blizzard look to them.

With these guys, it's hard to say blizzard or patternless. I said patternless in the end because there is a decent amount of color in the tail - something that is rarely seen in blizzards.

As for the leucistic comment...it's generally accepted that neither blizzards or patties are leucistic. See this thread for the debate. Blizzards can have tons of color, which can be seen here.
