This is my Leopard Gecko, Irena. I asked on a different website a while back what morph she was, and the only response I got was RAPTOR...but the thing is she doesn't have red eyes. Her eyes are pure black, you can't see any detail in them at all. I'm thinking she's something different then, but I have no idea!! I'm not good with morphs, I've only been into Leo's since January.

Okay, please forgive me if I sound stupid...but she doesn't have to have red eyes to be a RAPTOR? Hers are solid black. I've studied them in different kinds of light, and I've never seen any red in them...or is it possible for them to be very dark red and appear black? I just feel like I would see SOME red in them if that were the case. With flash, natural light, lamps, they always appear black. Thanks for your help, in advance, I'm new to this. :p

It's a RAPTOR for sure. RAPTOR is a Tremper Eclipse. Your gecko's eyes just appear to be black, but they are actually really really dark ruby red. Not sure why this happens...could be incubated at lower temps at the time or the Eclipse gene playing some part in it.
