Hatched tonight, the first blazing blizzard out of my own lines. Right from the originals through the hets and out.. and also a curiousity I want some opinions on now that he's grown some. First comes the Blazing Blizzard. His name is Invierno (Means Winter in a few languages)
Please don't mind the picture sizes...

Hatched tonight, Invierno (the name means Winter). My first Blazing Blizzard and even he's slightly abnormal with pure white small bands behind his head and around his tail.. Its wierd but there is NO doubt this is a blazing blizzard. I am so stoked. Wasn't going to take pics till morning but I couldn't help it. I've got one more to come out too.. and I still can't believe this little one came out tonight.... I'm gonna be staring at him forever...Anyway, enough of the talking.. onto the pics for you all...

And now, the curiousity, coming out of the same parents as my blazing blizzard did though this one was born first.

The more I look and watch.....

the more my 2 odd "blizzards" start to appear very much like the patternless snows Geckos etc produced regardless of what genetics they should be... Comparison pic time for everyone.. *L* I posted when he was first hatched for opinions.. but he does NOT look like a banana blizzard in the least. I've looked at them... You can see the differences readily. Opinions from everyone are welcome... on both hatchlings.

Couple days after he was born:

Now, at a couple weeks old:

And taken yesterday... Its amazing really

What albinism strain is the Blazing Blizzard? Congratulations on the stunning animals!

He's a tremper albino strain *nods* I still find the faint banding on him odd but there is no question he's a blazing blizzard. An albino would have yellow somewhere on it...I'm hoping its a "just born" thing and that it'll disappear in a few days... He was 6 hours old in that picture so hopefully I'll see what happens with a fe days or weeks time...I've already gotten an albino out of the parents and its a normal albino het for whatever else the parents are.. The genetics aren't as straightforward as I thought they'd be. My female tang albino is carrying somethings that she passed on to her offspring and is causing them to throw off these odd geckos..I'm lost at the moment and needing some help from people more experienced in genetics. I have pics of all generations from the beginning to now should anyone prove interested....
