What I mean is people call them like Rainwater and things(The color of the eyes I am assuming)..The image is as clear as i can get it..And I see the red in the slits in the eyes in real life too! So does this help?

The reddish color you see is a result of light bouncing off the reflective cells(tapetum lucidum) inside the eye. These reflective cells are what allow them to see and hunt in the dark. Congrats on your awesome new blizzard! pretty cool stuff :D

It cant have "some albino" in it. it either is or isnt, in terms of expression. Geckos can be heterozygous for the trait,but that will not cause any expression of the gene.

Names like rainwater, tremper, and Bell are referring to the respective strain of albinism, not the eye color. It just so happens that eye color can help those with an experienced eye tell which type of albino gecko they are looking at.

your gecko has normal eyes.
