My Opinion

Niki458 Apr 25, 2008 02:48 PM

In my opinion Tremper albinos are getting a bad rap for being dark. There are many beautiful light trempers out there and I have one. He is not dark at all. It has been tested and proven that if after 21 days you incubate the eggs at 90 degrees you get what is called their true colors and with albinos that determines the lightness or brightness of the gecko. You can look this up at leopardgecko.com in the FAQ. Heres a picture of my Tremper with my SHTCTB

That is a nice tremper albino. I like to incubate at 82 for the first 3 weeks and 88 until they hatch. this way they hatch looking like my vegas albinos and if i set them up with a hot spot of 95 even with a cold ambient temp they stay light

Thats not saying they still aren't beautiful animals...all it's saying is that they are "darker" than the other strains. I think all three strains are beautiful.

Those are beautiful babies. I personally don't mind them dark but I've heared many say trempers aren't as pretty.

I personally like a hot tremper more than others because of how white the bands become on nice ones

I love the Trempers even the dark ones. All 3 strains are beautiful imo but the trempers are my favorite.
