chocolate phase?!?

polydaedalus Jul 18, 2006 11:40 AM

i just got a 7" female leo she was sold as a "chocolate" phase, is there such a thing? she has a nice very pale yellow pink background with tremper/bell albino markings but the markings are dark brown, her eyes are not regularly colored i will try to post pics but would like to know what morph she is? i got her with a striped partial carrot-tail male.

thanx,
mike

I have no idea what's going on with this forum it's gone really dead .

Anyway about chocolate albinos yes there is such a thing.This is the named given to a standed albino that was incubated at a temperature of around 82'f given them darker skin pigments.This it not a genetic trait.Hope it helps .

sorry to be such a pain, is there any way to tell the exact type of albino? tremper,
rainwater, bell, etc. also how to tell sex, and if its not to much trouble do you have any pics of highly gravid females?
for a better color description, she is mostly off color yellow she has brown color markings, off whitish tail with some yellow, light pink and yellow legs with brown spots, scar on head,
thanx,
mike
