Talking About an Albino Leopard Gecko

Since 1991 when the first designer leopard geckos hatched, there has been a big interest to breed these lizards with new and exciting color and pattern mutations. Among the different varieties of leopard gecko specimens are leucistic, high yellow, and albino types.

There are three unique types of albino leopard geckos. Two are Tremper and Rainwater. Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as Bell.
The trio of albino varieties are each the result of a recessive genetic trait. It means, if you were to breed a Tremper albino with a Rainwater or Bell albino, all of the babies would be normal looking but not albino.
Specific developmental problems, within animals can be traced to certain genes, which when mutated, become known as a "recessive trait". There are no actions that can be implemented to increase the odds of identifying a new recessive trait, as they are discovered accidentally. Lots of luck is required to achieve this type of specialized breeding.

Normally, it's hard to differentiate between the three varieties of albino leopard geckos. An educated guess is sometimes needed in order to figure out which strain an adult albino leopard gecko is. There are three albino stains in leopard geckos . The most common of the three is, tremper stain. To be seen, they were the first of the albino strains. A "Mocha Strain" refers to albino geckos that are brown. In addition, their color may be either pink or white. The color of an albino leopard gecko ranges from slightly lighter than the normal color of non-albino leopard geckos, to bright red. Depending on the temperature during incubation, geckos may vary in hue on their skin along with their eye color. Usually, a hotter incubation temperature will cause a leopard gecko that has a darker color.

Rainwater albinos are the second most common of the three different types of albinos. Contrary to what people think, they are not always pinker when compared to the remaining species. The rarest of the albino leopard geckos is the Bell strain. They often have a high contrast, with “pink†areas that are very much darker than other albino strains. The Bell albino leopard geckos have eyes that are more red than any of the three strains. While the red eye color of young animals normally changes as the animal ages to the normal beige color in the other albino strains, the Bell albino eye color has a tendency to stay red or pinkish even in adult animals. all of the different types of albinos are sensitive to bright light. They will close their eyes tightly if subjected to such light. Albinos generally do not eat during the day due to their extreme sensitivity to light.

As leopard geckos continue to become popular due to their easy to care for nature, the possibility of different color variations will grow. The number of known dominant recessive traits could increase in the period ahead. The breeding of mutations with mutations will accelerate the rate of variation making these animals which are already unique to be even more unique.
