difference between albinos

mdterp Jul 11, 2008 08:12 AM

Hello. Recently I have been reading about leopard gecko genetics and I'm having some trouble finding the differences between tremper, rainwater, and bell albinos. Can seone please tell me the differences?

There are some slight differences. The Bells are probably the most easy to distinguish from the others.
The main reason it is important to know what line of Albino your working with is that all three lines are incompatible. Example, If you breed a Tremper Albino to a Rainwater Albino you wouldn't get any Albino offspring. They would be normal looking but Herterozygous for both lines of Albino.
