What do you think about these eyes?

[AlexB]

Hello guys, i hatched this Tremper Albino 2 weeks ago. The pairing was Tremper Enigma het DB x Tremper Albino het BB. Her sibling is a Blazing Blizzard Enigma.

Im a bit impressed by the eyes. They looked very dark red when she was born and now they look kinda pigmented or something, has any of you hatched something similar??

This little one does not show Eclipse markers (white nose and feet).

I also hatched many Sunglows, Snowglows and a few trempers (not from the same pairing) incubated at the same temp, and all hatched with regular silver/light gray eyes. I have 4 eggs left cooking of the same pairing.

I produced both of the parents back in 2010 and 2011, and im pretty sure the female doesnt carry any Eclipse gene. She was Bred to a Nova and to a het eclipse male and had about 22 hatchlings between 2010-2011 seasons and not a single Eclipse hatched.

Here are some pictures, any input is welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Het. Blizzard x blizzard blizzards can have eyes like that

I know blizzards can have pigmented eyes, but this is not a blizzard, its just a tremper albino 66% poss het blizzard.

Anyone else?

 

[AlexB]

Well, thanks a lot anyway.

Anyone?

IM sorry I don't heave much experience here. But since its a possible gene carrier or the morph blizzard It could have pigmented eyes. I know its not but it looks like a marble eye!

 

[AlexB]

So is it possible that an animal who carries one single copy of the Blizzard gene to show pigmented eyes? I know its common in blizzards, but this is only a 66% possible het Blizzard

Do you know the genetics of the parents of the parents and their parents? Wow that was a mouth full. lol

I think so. The grandmother was a petshop Blizzard who was originally bred to a Mack Snow Enigma het Tremper, possible het RAPTOR and that proved my female to be het Tremper. From the original pairing, i had 12 hatchlings: Mack Snows, Tremper Albinos, Mack Snow Enigma and a couple normals, but not a single Eclipse eyed baby was born. I kept a female Tremper Albino, wich is the mother of the little weird eyed gecko.

I sold the male to a friend and he bred with him a RAPTOR and a Tremper Albino het RAPTOR females, and produced many hatchlings, none of them Eclipse Either. I think thats enough to prove the male was not het Eclipse (he produced about 30 babies or so in the same season).

I still had the mother Blizzard het Tremper, so next season i bred her to a male NOVA, which i got here from Duvan Martinez (Dm Reptiles, i think), and had about 12-14 babies: Tremper Albinos, Tremper Enigmas, Enigmas, and Normals. Again, not a single Eclipse eyed gecko. I kept a male Tremper Enigma het Diablo Blanco, which is the father of this little Tremper we are talking about.

This year i bred those two, the female's was 2 years old and a first time breeder, so got only 6 eggs from her.

The first clutch resulted in regular eyed Tremper Albinos, and i sold em to a friend who owns a petshop. The second clutch I got this little weird eyed baby, and the clutchmate was a Blazing Blizzard Enigma. I still have one clutch left cooking, which should hatch in 3-4 weeks.

I hope this info helps, thanks a lot in advance.

I'm thinking the Blizzard gene is messing with the eye pigmentation, that's all I can think of really.

I see, but its weird because any of her brothers showed the pigment.
