Which albino do I have?

[RadiantGeckos]

I purchased an albino a little while back from a local pet store, but I have no idea as to which of the three strains it originates. How can I figure out if I have a Tremper, LV or Bell albino without risking cross-contaminating different bloodlines?

Thanks
Erin

It looks like it might be a Bell. If you can, get a solid shot of the eyes. That is the easiest/most efficient way to tell.

This is as good as the eye shot is going to get, I think. They're a light tan to a caramel color.

It's a sweet little Tremper!

 

[RadiantGeckos]

Awesome! Thanks Kyle and Marcia!

One more question about albinos I have a Blazing Blizzard that I got from that same pet store and I don't know if it is a Bell or a Tremper. I read 'somewhere' that you can tell on BB's by the eye color, but I was under the impression that they all had Ruby eyes? Is there any way to tell which line my BB comes from by physical appearance alone? Sorry guys, all four of my leos are pet store finds, so I'll probably have a few more morph/genetics questions

Just in case it helps, here's a pic or two of my BB's

I'm going to go ahead and say Tremper on the Blazing Blizzard.

Thanks Kyle...I'm just curious though... Why do you say it is a Tremper?

Thanks Kyle...I'm just curious though... Why do you say it is a Tremper?

Because Bell Blazings haven't been known to be produced yet (except for one that passed away)...

I have a feeling there'll be one produced soon though...

what about LV Blazings?

If they're from a pet store it's usually 99% sure that it's some sort of tremper.

 

[RadiantGeckos]

Aaaah gotcha. I was wondering if that was the reasoning. Makes sense. Thanks again Kyle, Michael and Emma

what about LV Blazings?

With the Albinos, the easiest way to tell them apart is the eyes. The eyes on your Hatchling and the Blazing look very similar.

Look trempor to me

Now that you mention it Kyle, I do see the similarity between the albino eyes and the BB's eyes. Thanks again Kyle and Chris
