What morph is my leo?

[Christywoowoo]

I need help! I can't find a morph that fits!

it's some type of albino mix most likely. get a better picture of the eye and it clue lead us to a clue of what. We can't really tell you fully what it is unless you know the parents and what they are.

Does this work? I understand we'd need some sort of lineage to be sure, but I've just never seen a coloration like it so I snagged onto him fast when I saw him at the pet store.

He's a bell albino with some unknown genetics behind him. You can tell by the eye color and skin color.

You can't tell what type of albino it is just by looking at it. It's impossible. Depending on incubation temperatures, the temperature it was kept at as a hatchling, and also the appearance of its individual parents, all of the albinos can end up looking very similar. There is no distinctive trait between them.

I would just call it an albino, possibly mack snow. You can't tell without knowing the genetics.

As far as i research each albino has different eye traits which tells them apart from other albinos.

That isn't always true. Genetics is complicated. For all we know, that gecko could be expressing two different strains of albinism. Line breeding and muddling of genes can make albinos look identical to one another. I've seen dark bells, light bells, dark rainwaters, pink trempers, etc.

They *used* to be distinguishable by eye appearance, but for several years now, this has been out of the question, unfortunately.

Ah, I understand. Thank you three, you've been very helpful. ^^ Whatever type he is, I love him and think he's gorgeous.
