Got this guy locally a few days ago. the guy I got him from said he got him as a peruvian. However I dont see it. Looks more like an argentine cross. Also it has an almost calico appearence. A ton of white scales and some white patches on the head. I thought it could be scaring but looked closer and its patches of white scales. I figured the white speckling could just be the argentine influence. Opinions are very much appreciated and wanted on this guy.

Looks to me as though it is a product of an Albino breeding and is het Albino. Hence the white scales showing through. I produced quite a few babies that are 100% albino ( from an Albino mother) that look similar to this guy. I am sure when they are his size, their white spots will look just as his do. There is a TH Moonglow for sale in the classifieds from Erik M. that looks like that too.

Hope this helps. I think he looks cool but knowing for certain what his genetics are is important too. Good luck!
