I got this from a local pet store. I know now, not the best place to get a Leo from. However , all they could say was "It's an Albino". I am just curious on what type of Albino youguys think it is.

Thanks, Jason:)

While it looks rainwater in some ways, they are fairly uncommon in pet stores. I think you have a dehydrated tremper albino there.

SORRY...... I should have said "looks like a dehydrated tremper".

A gecko fades in color when dehydrated and your gecko doesn't appear to be truely dehydrated.

While I agree that geckos fade in color(alot) when dehydrated, this looks like a almost not skinny gecko, with its real color showing. It just doesnt look washed out to me.

It looks like a Rainwater to me, too. But like Paul said, it's VERY uncommon to find them in pet stores unless it was someone's pet and they gave it up!

well I've gone to petsmart and they sometimes have random geckos like cool adults or skinny little babies so maybe they could of gotten one, but petsmart usually has bells while petco has trempers.

OH...I've been to one of those and they could carry them since they aren't as big as petco and they seem a more local buyers, well at least the one in torlock seemed like it.
