Stimpy is a nice looking gecko. What, exactly, is a 'hybino'? I've seen the expression lately & have been wondering. Thanks

Meaning that all the purple/pink banding should just become tang when the leo gets older. And what you're left with is an albino with only a couple little spots of pink/lavendar/white on a yellow/tang body.

I've seen some beautiful high yellow or tangerine hybinos lately. I can't wait to see how next year will be with everyone crossing over the albino carrot tail boundries. =3

Thanks, I had been thinking it was a term for those Tremper albinos that have a "high white" look .. they seem to be somewhat resistant to the darkening that takes place when exposed to cooler temps.
