I had a leo hatch out last night from a tang. tremper x tang. tremper, and it appears in natural light to have 100% red eyes. When I took these photos today in a dark room using a flash.(The only way I could get the guy to keep his eyes open.) The eyes appear lighter but the pupils are red. Any ideas or thought would be appreciated.
Thanks,
William
That is a nice looking baby it’s not like the raptor red eyes though. Yours dose have a nice tinting of red. But some times that dose fade. The best thing to do is just keep watching it and see if they stay redder like that. But it is definitely not raptor red if you go to Ron trempers website you will see what I mean look at the snake eyed animals they give you the best comparison between a normal eye and a raptor eye
nice baby though
also alot of people think that the Raptor might have some thing to do with the stripe genetic
What form of albino is he/she? Id deffinatly keep him/her and breed back to related geckos to see if you can replicate the trait. If you prove it genetic then you discovered a new gene/polygentic trait

duh, I didnt read your first post very closely... Yeah, deffinatly worth holding back. Ive only seen brown eyed trempers, unless you count the RAPTORs.
--------------------------
Ron used five of his patternless gene females, a male tang banded carrottail het for reverse stripe, and a male tang giant albino carrothead jungle when he created the APTORs. He bred the het reverse stripe to all the females, then bred the carrothead to all the babies. Then he linebred for a generation out of the best looking geckos produced. At that time he had many many combinations of the following traits: patternless, carrottail, carrothead, banded, reverse stripe, tangerine, and giant. When he was narrowing down the gene pool the Eclipse gene popped up in the form of red eyed aptors RAPTORS (albino Eclipse) then when outbred to nonalbinos from the APTOR project produced Eclipse geckos.
